Craig Lamont Shaw was a 37-year-old Lancaster Police Department officer who was shot and killed on June 20, 2010, while responding to a shooting call at an apartment complex in the 900 block of River Bend Drive. Officers had been to the same apartment earlier that day to diffuse a domestic situation involving the man who had just been murdered. After arriving, Shaw and other officers began searching for the suspect; when they approached him he turned and opened fire, fatally wounding Officer Shaw. Another officer returned fire and killed the suspect at the scene.

Shaw had served with the Lancaster Police Department for five years and is survived by his wife and two children. The suspect was identified in the text as the son of a police chief from a nearby agency. The death was ruled a line-of-duty homicide and the Fallen Heroes Memorial in Lancaster, TX, honors Officer Shaw and other officers who died in the line of duty.
