Sgt. Ron Helus, one of the first officers to respond to a call of a shooting at a bar in Thousand Oaks, California was among the 12 victims killed in the incident.
"He gave his all. Tonight, as I told his wife, he died a hero. He went in to save lives, to save other people.” Said Sheriff Dean.
Helus, 54, is survived by a son and his wife, whom he called before responding to the shooting.
“He said, ‘Hun, I got to go. I love you. I gotta go on a call,'”
