November 19, 2008 | Virginia News
On November 18, Marymount University Forensic Psychology students in Karen Bune's graduate class on Victims of Interpersonal Violence paid tribute to Fairfax County Police Department Chief Colonel David M. Rohrer for his understanding of victim issues and for his effective response to the tragic shooting deaths of Detective Vicky Armel and Officer Mike Garbino on May 8, 2006, at the Sully Police Station in Chantilly, Virginia.
Chief Rohrer was honored for the sensitivity with which he assisted the victims' families and their fellow officers with their shock and grief after a gunman opened fire at the police station. The Chief's empathy was recently demonstrated again with the accidental drowning death on October 21, 2008, of Lieutenant Frank Stecco during a training exercise.
