Hundreds Attend Vigil for Slain Texas Deputy Darren Goforth

Hundreds gathered at a vigil Saturday to mourn the loss of the sheriff’s deputy ambushed at a Texas gas station while filling up his patrol car the previous evening, NBC News reported. 
 
The crowd, gathered at the Houston Chevron station where Darren H. Goforth was gunned down, were led in prayer and observed a moment of silence for Goforth and the sheriff’s department. 
 
Many said that they were there to support police. Some said that they were frustrated with what they said was an increased hostility against all police. 
 
His wife, meanwhile, released a statement Saturday calling her husband her best friend. "There are no words for this," she said.
 
Saturday, Shannon Miles, 30, was arrested and charged with capital murder in the shooting of Goforth, a 10-year veteran on the force.
