Officer Kenneth Copeland of the San Marcos Police Department was killed yesterday.
Officer Copeland was assisting other officers in serving a warrant, and was shot by the suspect. He was 58 and had four kids.
Officer Copeland is the first San Marcos PD officer to die in the line of duty.
Also among the dead: John Anderson, former Congessman from Illinois, perhaps most famous for his presidential campaign as an independant against Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan in 1980.
