“Our hearts are simply broken over this devastating loss,” said Loveland Superintendent Chad Hilliker. “Officer Kim was a valued member of our community, and we collectively feel the grief over his tragic passing. Even though we are out of school for the year, we wanted to offer our students counseling services as they work through their grief. This is a moment when the entire Tiger Family needs to band together to support Officer Kim’s family and each other.”
