Fargo Officer credited with stopping potential mass shooting to be honored at national ceremony

(Fargo, ND) -- Fargo police officer Zach Robinson will soon be recognized as one of the top ten police officers in the United States.

He'll be receiving a top award from the National Association of Police Organizations.

The awards ceremony will be held in Washington, D.C., on May 12th.
