BEAR, Del. - All Wawa stores in Delaware will be taking donations for the Stephen Ballard Memorial Fund through May 8.

Corporal Stephen Ballard was shot to death outside a Wawa in Bear, Del., on Wednesday.

“Everyone at Wawa joins the entire community in mourning the loss of Cpl. Ballard and we want to extend our deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of Cpl. Ballard as well as to all of the Delaware State Police,” said John Sharpless, Director of Store Operations for all Delaware Wawa stores.
