I don't really know what to say but one of our deputy's died yesterday and I just found out about it as wife saw it on out of town news....I Googled it and it is reported all over the State.

I went down 15 minutes before the procession and met with the Sheriff.
Looked like all 2,800 people in town standing along main street (rt 395).

Just an update.

Registered sex offender accused of killing California deputy

ALTURAS, Calif. — A sheriff's deputy shot dead in rural northern California was killed by a man listed in state records as a registered sex offender shortly after the deputy arrived at a home to investigate a domestic disturbance, authorities said Thursday.

Deputy Jack Hopkins, 31, died instantly Wednesday morning and the suspect, Jack Lee Breiner, was arrested after a chase and shootout with another officer that left both wounded, the Modoc County Sheriff's Office said in a statement.

The "other officer" was Sheriff Mike Poindexter who was fired on with a rifle as he attempted to give aid. (http://www.modocsheriff.us/Sheriff.html)
