Brutal attack when Deputy Devin Haramio was shot while responding
to a car crash around four in the afternoon. The

did not release information on Batman, but it is believed

second person was also reportedly taken into custody. Deputy Heramio
later died at the hospital.

In addition to that loss, in North Carolina, officer Roger
Smith murdered while working at the WakeMed Hospital emergency department
during an altercation somewhat similar to what Devin experienced. A
suspect fired on Roger, fatally wounding him. The suspects truck
with return fire, was apprehended by responding officers. He's been
charged with murder. And Indiana Corporal Blake Reynolds was struck

And Army National Guard veteran, Blake has served by his
