Lieutenant Brian Alford places a Farmersville PD patch on a memorial in front of Dallas Police headquarters over the weekend after an ambush in downtown Dallas July 7 that killed five officers.

After a shooting that killed five Dallas Police officers and wounded nine more, local first responders and the community came together in an interfaith service.

The Dallas attack was carried out Thursday, July 7, by a lone sniper who targeted police during a peaceful protest of two recent shootings by police in Minnesota and Louisiana.

The prayer service was held Sunday night at First Baptist Church of Farmersville and had multiple churches and pastors in attendance.
