Slain San Jose Police Officer Michael Johnson was inducted into the Police Amateur Athletic Foundation Hall of Fame Thursday night – and in his place, his widow accepted the award.
Johnson was a star athlete, winning gold medals in both judo and shooting at the US police and fire championships.
He was shot and killed by a suspect in March.
"I miss my husband every day,"Nikki Johnson said Wednesday in an exclusive interview with NBC Bay Area
. "He was a very bright spot in a lot of people's lives, especially his whole family. We're taking it one day at a time."
