Officers Shot & Killed

Onondaga County Sheriff Lieutenant Michael Hoosock and Syracuse Police Officer Michael Jensen died during a shootout in Salina, New York on Sunday, April 14th.

A massive blue wave could be seen all across Central New York. Hundreds wore blue to support our men and women in law enforcement after two officers were shot and killed in the line of duty.

It wasn't just blue clothing either. It was everything from nail polish and house lights to blue iced donuts. Everyone did everything they could to honor those who put their lives on the line every day.
