Smithfield, N.C. — April 22, 2020 — At the close of the latest Hold the Line apparel fundraiser from Shield Republic Charities, another fallen police officer will be commemorated with a donation in his honor.

Officer Walsh was gunned down late on Sunday, March 15, after responding to a call that an active shooter had crashed into the Kum & Go on East Chestnut Expressway in Springfield and opened fire. The shooter killed Walsh and four civilians before turning the gun on himself.
100% of the net profits will be donated in memory of Springfield Police Officer Christopher Walsh via the Springfield, MO Police Department to benefit Officer Walsh’s family.
Officer Walsh was shot and killed in the early hours of Monday, March 16th while responding to a call for shots being fired from a car. Officer Walsh pursued the suspect into a convenience store where Officer Walsh was shot and killed.
