BRIDGEWATER, Va. – Bridgewater College has created a memorial student support fund in commemoration of two fallen heroes.
The fund will memorialize the heroic actions and ultimate sacrifice of Campus Police Officer John Painter and Campus Safety Officer Vashon “J.J.” Jefferson. This comes after the two were shot and killed as they worked to protect their campus community from an active shooter on Feb. 1.
