EOW: Feb 09, 1958
On this date in 1958, Deputy Sheriff David Alois Horr lost his life as a result of an on-duty incident. Deputy Horr was a PPOA member with three years of service to the county when he succumbed to a gunshot wound received two months earlier after responding to a disturbance call. PPOA salutes Deputy Horr for his service and sacrifice and we ask that you keep his family in your thoughts and prayers on this end-of-watch anniversary date.
