Foundation donates $100K to family of killed deputy marshal

A foundation that helps families of fallen first responders has donated $100,000 to the family of a deputy U.S. marshal who was shot and killed in Tucson.

The Arizona Daily Star reports the Tunnel to Towers Foundation on Wednesday announced the donation to the family of Chase White to help pay off the family’s mortgage.

The foundation is asking people both locally and nationwide to donate the rest so the family can own their home outright by Christmas.

White, 41, was fatally shot last Thursday night while helping to serve a felony arrest warrant.
