Teen Trumpeter Plays Touching Taps Tribute For Fallen Dallas Officers (WATCH)

A 14-year-old boy identified only as “James” showed up at the Omaha, Nebraska Police Department with a trumpet, and without fanfare, honored police officers killed in Dallas.

The teen played “Taps,” the traditional bugle call performed at military funerals, as he stood at Omaha’s memorial to its own fallen officers.

Police officers inside weren’t aware of the performance until the boy had left, but were deeply moved when they saw a video of James on social media.

“Thank you young man,” Claudia Russell posted in the comments. “You did a beautiful job playing taps. Always make me cry.”
