Laura McElroy Quotations

We believe that Steven Lorenzo is a violent and dangerous man who's capable of murder. We're in the process of building our own murder case against Lorenzo with two victims, and we do think there is a possibility of other victims out there. And we are still looking for help from the public to learn more about any possible victims or to find out about any possible victims. If anyone has a loved one who they think has had contact with Lorenzo, we'd like to hear from them.

This behavior's outrageous. It's highly unacceptable, it's unbecoming a police officer, and it's a sad day at TPD that we are even standing here discussing it.

This is what he needed to do. This was in his best interest. This is the first step to him getting the help he needs.

It's a sad situation for someone who obviously has a serious problem and is adding to his own problems by his actions right now.

It was surreal watching that and extremely disturbing.

It is very much an active investigation. We were hopeful that her condition would improve so that the bullet could be removed, but with or without it, we still expect to make an arrest.

For him, repairing something is like taking a walk. He fixes everything.

The officers did what they felt was correct for officer safety. We feel the fault lies on the shoulders of the department, not the two officers, because we did not have a clear policy and now, as a result of this case, we do.

The behavior is outrageous. It's highly unacceptable. It's unbecoming a police officer.

This is information that officers never had before.

I don't think that makes a difference because whether they're going to be drinking beer or liquor, that has the same impact on people.

He said all of a sudden he saw a girl and he couldn't stop fast enough.

You can tell they are in a heated exchange.

The discipline will reflect the department's tremendous disappointment in these officers. Just the fact that we have to investigate this type of behavior is a low moment for TPD.
