Maplewood Police Chief Dave Thomalla identified the Maplewood officer who was killed as 49-year-old Sgt. Joseph Bergeron. He was a 26 1/2 year veteran of the Maplewood Police Department. "He was very proud officer, very proud officer and he's one of the finest people I know. And he was murdered today, senselessly. And he leaves behind a wife and two beautiful daughters. We will miss him, we will miss him terribly," said Thomalla.
Police said Bergeron was shot around 6:50 a.m. when a suspect walked up to his squad and shot the officer as he sat alone in the vehicle.

Howls,
Your daughter's memory lives here today - I hope today, you can understand a little more how many of us honor those who serve and protect us today and those who sacrificed for us in the past.
Bless your daughter and you,
