Shannon Owen lost her husband Deputy Josh Owen in May when he was shot and killed during a seemingly routine call to an apartment building.
Josh had been a member of the National Guard and had deployed overseas. He was a devoted husband and father as well.
After he was killed, his widow did not want Governor Tim Walz at the funeral and who can blame her? During an interview, she insisted that it had nothing to do with Democrats and Republicans but that she just doesn’t like people who don’t respect law enforcement officers.
