As people continue to stop by at the DeKalb County Police Department to leave their condolences over the shooting death of Officer David Rose, the department’s interim chief got emotional while speaking before the DeKalb County Commission on Tuesday.

The Uvalde Foundation for Kids, a national nonprofit formed after the 2022 elementary school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, announced it will award Rose a posthumous commendation for heroism, according to a press release. The date for the award presentation has not been set.
