STAMFORD -- A city police officer's son was killed in the line of duty while with the U.S. Air Force in Afghanistan on Thursday, according to Stamford police. The airman's father is a city officer.
Staff Sgt. Todd James "T.J." Lobraico was 22. His father was notified early Friday, Stamford Police Sgt. Joseph Kennedy said.
Lobraico's father, also named Todd, is an Air Force veteran and served in the first Gulf War. He has been an officer with the Stamford Police Department for 17 years and lives in Sherman.
"On a personal level, I can fully understand what Todd and his family are going through," Stamford Police Chief Jon Fontneau said. "As for the Stamford police family, we are devastated seeing the loss to Todd's family and the loss to the United States."
Fontneau said Friday morning he had just returned from visiting the Lobraico family and that they were "crushed" and in a state of shock after being notified of the young man's death.
