It’s been almost five years since four Dallas Police officers and one DART Police officer were shot and killed by a shooter during a protest in downtown Dallas.

On Friday, July 2, Valerie Zamarripa, the mother of one of the fallen officers, Patrick Zamarripa, woke up early and brought breakfast to the Dallas Police Southwest Sub-Station, CBS DFW r eports.

Dallas Police said her son was a hero on July 7, 2016 as he ran toward the gunfire.

As she arrived at the station her son once reported to, she was greeted with open arms and hugs by several officers, Dallas Police said.
