"In these darkest days that have passed since the events of last Tuesday, our family has been overwhelmed by the support we have received from our community. The kindness and generosity that continues to be shown to myself and my children has given our family hope and strength to begin to heal. My gratitude for the incredible doctors that worked tirelessly to save my family is immense. With that being said, this road is a long one. The loss of my beloved husband and adored father of my children has left our family irrevocably changed and utterly devastated. To compound this grief by learning of the inaccurate reporting of that morning’s events, and of my husband’s actions, was extremely disappointing. Our family humbly asks for patience and privacy as we begin to navigate this new course of our lives. Chris was an incredible husband, father and friend and deserves to be remembered as such. With time more will be understood about exactly what took place last Tuesday. However, today we pray for my husband, Chris and my children,” Andrews said in her statement.

Fairfield Officer Sean Fenton fatally shot Christopher Andrews on Feb. 16 after he said the man walked towards him with a knife. Police also stated that Kathleen Andrews had been stabbed in the head, and the couple's three children had also been injured.
