I am so shocked and sadden to hear of this tragedy for this beloved officer. I can't understand why the man who struck her was insensitive enough to be driving drunk like that. It should have been a wake up call for people to stop the dangerous cycle of drinking while driving. My condolences to the police department of Beaumont for their loss, including to the family of Officer Beaulieu. She will be in your thoughts and heart... as a proud member of your outstanding police department.
