On June 15, 2018, deputies were transporting a shackled and handcuffed inmate near the Wyandotte County Courthouse in Kansas City, Kansas, when a struggle occurred in a gated sally port. The inmate gained control of a deputy’s firearm and opened fire, fatally wounding Deputy Patrick Rohrer and Deputy Theresa King. Deputy Rohrer, a seven-year veteran, died shortly after the shooting.

Deputy King, 44, who had served with the Wyandotte County Sheriff’s Office for 13 years and was a mother of three, was taken to the University of Kansas Medical Center and succumbed to her injuries just after midnight on June 16, 2018. One of the deputies, despite mortal wounds, returned fire and the inmate was taken into custody at the scene; he survived and was charged in the killings. The community held vigils to honor the deputies’ service and sacrifice.

Does anyone have memories of Deputy King to share or information about that day?
