The sound of Kenny Chambless’ phone buzzing continuously is a rare sound, but on the afternoon of July 8 he was inundated with calls and texts.
Then maybe it wasn’t a surprise after the previous night’s events where an ambush of gunfire took the lives of five Dallas police officers and injured multiple others. An attack so close to home struck fear in area residents as they reached out to Chambless for a way to feel safe.
