Cindy Mondello of Russell, Ont., is among those who have left behind flowers at the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Russell County detachment in Embrun.
Mondello didn’t know Sgt. Eric Mueller, but she cried when she heard the 42-year-old veteran officer died in an altercation with a man in nearby Bourget early Thursday morning.
Two of Mueller’s detachment colleagues were also wounded in the shooting but survived, with one remaining in hospital for treatment on Friday and the other healing at home, according to the OPP.
“It’s just senseless,” Mondello said early Friday afternoon in front of the detachment.
“We’re very, very upset about what happened and our officers do need our support.”
