The United States Holocaust Museum has set up a memorial fund for the family of their/our dear officer Stephen Tyrone Johns.
According to reports from CNN news Johns will be remembered as a “Gentle Giant,” who stood 6 feet 6 inches tall.
He is survived by his family in the DC/Maryland Metro area, and his son Stephen Jr. who is 11.
Johns attended Crossland HS where he graduated in 1988.
I think that in DC too many of us go about our days in DC and rush, rush, rush and go through metal detectors like clock work without thinking about security in general. I had just taken my grandmother to the Holocaust museum 3 weeks prior to this shooting. Thank you Officer Johns and every security guard in the DC area and beyond who every day put themselves on the line for my safety and others. You WILL be greatly missed.
