Families of Cst. Northrup and Cst. Morgan Russell

On October 11, 2022, two South Simcoe police officers were shot at and killed in a shooting while responding to a disturbance at a residence in Innisfil.

The fallen, 33 year old Const. Devon Northrup - a six year member of the police service and 54 year old Const. Morgan Russell - a thirty three year member of the police service.

My name is Danny Petrucci, a First Responder and from a family that bleeds blue.

It has been a dreadful month for my policing family, however we continue to go out and risk our lives everyday to protect our communities to make it a better and safer place.

As a Simcoe resident, my heart mourns for the loss of the community and for the families affected.

To the families - from my family, my colleagues, the Simcoe community, and all of Ontario, we are very saddened and offer you our deepest condolences during this very difficult and tragic time.

I know nothing I can say will help during this time, however I hope that all the funds raised will offer some level of comfort and assist with the healing process.

*** All funds raised will be split evenly and distributed to both families. ***

Many expenses are expected to arise and the money raised will allow the community to provide continued support to the families affected. Our hope is that none of the families need to worry about any financial burden during this difficult time and can focus on healing and being together with their loved ones.

*** The money will be sent to South Simcoe Police for distribution ***

*** We are not related to any of the parties involved - we are a police family who live in the Simcoe community and want to raise money to help with their loss during this difficult time - a loss for the entire community ***

Thank you for your support.

Rest in peace brothers.
