Update On The Murder Of Two Deputies

The Nye County deputy sheriff who was murdered in cold blood has been identified as 27 year old Ian Deutch. From the LVRJ:
In Afghanistan, soldier Ian Michael Deutch survived nine months of enemy combat as a fire support specialist with Nevada's 221st Cavalry Wildhorse Squadron.
On the second day after his return to the Nye County Sheriff's Office, the 27-year-old deputy was shot and killed in the line of duty. He was shot five times -- once in the knee, once in the pelvic area, and three times in the upper chest. "It's horrible," said his mother, Suzy Deutch, speaking by phone from her Las Vegas home. "He was finally safe. In our country. And somebody here kills him."
Nye County Sheriff's Office identified the shooting suspect as 30-year-old James Chaffin...More than 100 friends, family and fellow soldiers were stationed outside of UMC Monday night awaiting updates on the fallen deputy's condition.
One of those was his brother, Nye County Sheriff's Deputy Richard Jason Deutch, who served alongside his sibling in Pahrump and Afghanistan -- one of nine sets of brothers who served together in Nevada's squadron.
Suzy Deutch said Richard wasn't involved in the casino shootout Monday because he hadn't yet returned to work.
"His brother is devastated," she said. "They'd been together as deputies and as soldiers."

It's sad. In Afghanistan, the Taliban couldn't get him, but he is on duty only two days in Nye County and a thug kills him.

In Vilas County, Wisconsin, that County is in mourning as they prepare to bury a deputy sheriff who was killed by a drunk driver. From the Wausau Daily Herald: Sheriff’s deputy Kory Dahlvig, 29, was responding to a call when a pick up truck with a manure box pulled from the side of the road into the path of the deputy’s squad car, according to a State Patrol news release. The squad car struck the rear of the truck.
Peontke, the driver of the truck, was taken to a local hospital with minor injuries, police said. Dahlvig was killed in the crash.
Peontke had a preliminary breath test of 0.19, more than twice the legal limit of 0.08 for driving, State Patrol Lt. Tim Carnahan said this morning .

Police officers have a very dangerous job. They may leave in the morning and never come home. It can happen anywhere- in the large city, medium sized cities like Pahrump or in beautiful tourist areas like Vilas County, Wisconsin. And it can happen in any country. Last week, seven police officers in Juarez, Mexico, were ambushed and killed by a drug cartel.
So, stay safe, officers and may you come home every night.
