Yesterday, Deputy Ramirez was shot and killed during a traffic stop, and Deputy Hislope was shot and killed last night during the subsequent manhunt. Both deputies were proud U.S. Army veterans, and their service to this country and their communities will not be forgotten.
Two additional deputies — one from Christian County and one from Webster County — were also shot during the manhunt and remain hospitalized. Their conditions are not known at this time.
All four deputies put service to others before self with courage, pride, and integrity. We stand in solidarity with both agencies and the families of the deputies, and we ask our community to keep them in their thoughts and prayers as they navigate this tragedy.
