On July 14, 2023, the community of Fargo, North Dakota, experienced what some have called the city’s 911 equivalent— an ambush of police officers who stopped to assist at a midday fender-bender. The frightening incident left one young officer dead and three others critically injured, but the shooter's plan to drive onward to the well-populated Fargo Street Fair was diverted.

Did evil have the last word on that tragic day, when a shooter who’d been observing the scene raised the scope on his gun to his eye? Or was another force, perhaps a divine one, also actively present?

In this episode, mothers-in-law of two of the four officers involved—including one who was injured and another who took down the shooter—reflect on where they sensed God’s presence that day.
