line of duty death

Central New York is mourning the death of a sheriff's deputy who was killed in the line of duty.

Today marks a solemn anniversary for the Central New York community, specifically the law enforcement community.

The increase in violence against police officers across the country is getting to a point of critical mass. Police Officers have been gunned down in New York City, Syracuse and Chicago in the last month. Two officers were killed in the Syracuse area in a devastating ambush attack. It's at a point now where the sheriffs of New York State are sick and tired of it.

It has been an incredibly difficult week for the law enforcement community in Upstate New York. The difficulty continues as another officer has died while in the line of duty.
