DEPUTY JAMES LEHMANN Jr
DEPUTY MICHAEL P. HAUGEN
Riverside Sheriffs Department, California, USA

Deputies Michael P. Haugen and James W. Lehmann, Jr. were shot and killed at approximately 0300 hrs as they answered a domestic violence call on the Cabazon Indian Reservation. They were ambushed by a sniper who shot them with an M-1 rifle as they exited their vehicles. Both deputies where wearing vests. One was shot in the head and the other was shot in the side when the bullet penetrated his vest. Neither deputy was able to radio in the incident. A sergeant who responded to the scene after they failed to make radio contact was shot at as he attempted to check on the deputies when he saw them laying on the ground. A SWAT team which was called in arrested a man later in the morning and held him with investigation of murder. Dep. Haugen, 33, is survived by his wife, son, and daughter. Dep. Lehmann, 40, is survived by his wife, son, and daughter.

Weep Not For Me
 

Weep not for me
For I have seen
The streets of Gold
and grass so green
Here the sun shines so strong
And the clouds so few
For what I've seen
I wish you knew
I am with you
My Brothers and Sisters in Blue
So be Kind, loving and strong
And keep always true
Here I'll be forever more
Amongst the clouds
I've past through Heavens door
My friends and loved ones
Please understand
I am next to GOD
In his Promised Land...
