GREENSBORO, N.C. — The Greensboro community continues to show an outpouring of support for Sgt. Philip Dale Nix.
The F-3 Greensboro workout group held a special workout session downtown Friday morning.
Nix died on December 30 while trying to stop a robbery at the Colfax Sheetz. Police Chief John Thompson says the ongoing support is what everyone needs.
"It means a lot to us [and] to our officers as well," Thompson said.
Nix's birthday is Feb. 2, and he would have been 51 years old.
