Shari Ackeret tells WISN-TV she attended the benefit because the community needs more people like Murphy.
Hundreds of people gathered outside the bowling alley to express their gratitude to Murphy. The officer, speaking in a whisper due to his throat injuries, thanked everyone for their kindness and prayers.
