A candlelight vigil in memory of slain Brackenridge Police Chief Justin McIntire was held Thursday evening in Brackenridge Park, just across from the American Legion.Watch the report from Brackenridge: Click the video above.Brackenridge Mayor Lindsay Fraser spoke with Pittsburgh's Action News 4 about what the continued public outpouring of support means for the small town whose police chief was shot and killed Monday."It means everything. It means everything to me, it means everything to our community, but it's also not surprising. Because I knew as mayor — and as someone who grew up here, and our chief knew too — that this is a tight-knit community. And we love each other, we're there for each other. And that's what he spent his life working toward, to protect that," Fraser said.Makeshift memorial tributes of flowers, signs and cards honoring the late chief continue to accumulate outside the municipal building. People were stopping by there throughout the day Thursday to pick up yard signs to express their support for the police.Some spoke with Pittsburgh's Action News 4 about that outpouring and about the vigil."I think it's very important for the people of the community to be at the vigil tonight. I mean, he was a big part of our community, very well-liked man in our community, and I think it's very important for our community to support," said Cindy Homburg, a Tarentum resident."A great town to live in. He was a great guy. We're going to miss him," said Glenn Rowan, a former Brackenbridge resident."I think it's just so important for people to know that we care, and it's just such a sad thing," said a Harrison Township resident who picked up a yard sign supportive of police but declined to give her name."The community response was immediate. We're a small town, all of our lives are intertwined. We all grew up together, and even if you don't know someone individually, you probably know some members of their family, and they know you," Fraser said."Justin saved my life one time. It was up camping, and I had a heart attack. If he wouldn't have got me to the hospital, I'd be dead," said Bill Pacek, a Tarentum resident."He was great. He was the cop whenever we were kids. Always waving, always stopping by to say hello," said Nicole Keener, of Brackenridge. "I went to school with him, and our kids went to school together."Throughout the day, some children accompanied their parents to the municipal building as they were leaving cards or flowers. The town's yard signs with a message supporting police are in heavy demand."The fact that the signs are sold out, and you can't find blue lights (to buy) anywhere shows that everybody wants to show their support for the family and for him and to thank him," said Kelly Campbell, who was accompanied by her 3-year-old daughter."It's a great impact," said Pamela Yaconis, of Natrona Heights, who was accompanied by her 5-year-old daughter. "Even this little one, when it was all going down, the first thing she said to me was, 'Is that my police officer?"The mayor said all were welcome to join Brackenridge for the vigil.
