Tyndellâs husband took the officerâs weapon and fled before he was fatally shot soon after in a confrontation with police.

âAnd while I endured painful times during our relationship it was only when the pain was directed to our children was when I had to end my loyalty to our vows and start protecting our children â  Tyndell  wrote. âAs adults we are responsible for our actions and make choices to stay in relationships for better or worse. But as parents our first priority is always to protect our children.â
