NC Public Safety Personnel Lost in Line of Duty

[RMPDCOP]

A Nags Head police officer died in a crash this morning in the 3000 block of S. Croatan Highway on his way to a call for a burglary, town officials said. He is the first officer in the town to be killed in the line of duty.
Sgt. Dulan Earl Murray Jr., 48, of Kitty Hawk, was on his way to check out the break-in about 3 a.m. when he lost control of his vehicle, went off the road and hit a utility pole near Nags Head Elementary School, a town news release says.
Murray, who had been with the town since 1997, had more than 26 years of law enforcement experience, the release says.
He leaves behind a wife and two daughters.
In the release, Nags Head Mayor Renee Cahoon calls the loss of Murray “indescribable.”
“Earl Murray was one of the finest, most dedicated officers we’ve ever had,” Cahoon said. “More importantly, though, he was one of the most dedicated family men we’ve ever known.”
The crash is under investigation by the North Carolina Highway Patrol.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family, friends & brothers in blue of Sgt. Murray. Losing an officer is always a very devastating event for any department but for this to be Nags Head's first LODD makes it even more tragic .

I will sticky this for a few days as I try to do for any NC officer who is lost and we have to say goodbye and EOW.

Greg-

Firefighter dies week after school bus crash

Posted: Today at 1:24 p.m.
Updated: 34 minutes ago
Raleigh, N.C. — A Raleigh firefighter injured in a chain-reaction wreck last Friday has died.
Lt. Harry P. "Flip" Kissinger IV, 35, of Wake Forest, died Friday afternoon at WakeMed, Assistant Fire Chief Rusty Styons said.
Kissinger suffered from numerous injuries, including head trauma, following a wreck last week when a school bus collided head-on with his pickup truck.
A lieutenant at Fire Station 6 in Raleigh, Kissinger was driving home from work early the morning of Dec. 4 when a school bus struck the pickup truck he was driving. The bus crashed into a ditch with the cab of the truck crushed beneath it.
Kissinger was with the Raleigh Fire Department for 12 years. He was married with two young daughters.
Dozens of comments were posted Friday afternoon on a Facebook page set up last week.
"Heaven has just received such a precious angel," one visitor wrote. "I am praying for peace for your family."
"We will miss you, pal," another wrote.
A fund has been established in Kissinger's name to help care for his family. Donations to the "Kissinger Family Care Fund" can be made at any First Citizens Bank.
