A police officer was killed in the line of duty after making a traffic stop. The officer had arrested a suspect, who is now accused of being the shooter, just days earlier. The officer, a husband and father of two, had recently been promoted to sergeant.

People have been paying their respects by leaving flowers and balloons outside the police department. A woman who works at a local hospital and would regularly see the officer expressed her desire to honor him.

Further details about the incident are available from the source, including an account from a local resident who wanted to pay tribute to the fallen officer.
