SHEFFIELD-Shenandoah has quickly come together to organize a special benefit concert for the family of slain Sheffield, Alabama Police Sgt. Nick Risner was shotin the line of duty on October 1 and died from his injuries on October 2. The concert will be held 7:30–9 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 12, at Riverfront Park in Sheffield. Admission to the concert is free, but donations for the Risner family will be accepted. Lenny Leblanc, The Travis Wammack Band along with Wayne Chaney and Shenandoah will perform at the concert.
“Our community has been entrusted with a great sorrow,” explains Shenandoah lead singer Marty Raybon. “Nick Risner was a policeman, a hero, and a U.S. Military vet that respectfully served and protected our country, along with our hometown. There is truly no way of knowing how many lives he saved, along with the other officers on the scene from three different police departments: Sheffield, Colbert County and Muscle Shoals.”
