Richard W. Oetinger (Deputy Sheriff)
Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office
By Amy Oetinger, West Palm Beach, Florida
Rick was my dad and he was the greatest person I've ever known. I have not yet in my life met anyone who did not love my father and I think that's saying something. My dad never hesitated to go out of his way to help someone, he was not the kind of person to just do his job and go home. He was the kind of person that truly wanted to make a difference not just by bring justice to victims and their families but to help those who didn't always make the right choice turn their lives around as well! My father was "injured in the line of duty" before I was born but it affected him my entire life until I was 18 and his body just couldn't take it anymore. My father never once in almost 25 years of service called in sick because he was in to much pain and please believe me he was but that's just how much he loved his job. So much he gave his life to it!
I love you dad and you always in my heart!

Carlos Owens (Officer)
Birmingham Police Department
By Walter J. Hendrix III, Birmingham, Alabama
Three Birmingham police officers were shot and killed near 18th Street and Avenue P in Ensley about 1:30 p.m. Thursday 17 June 2004. The officers have been identified as Carlos Owens, Harley Chisholm and Charles Robert Bennett. A fourth officer, Michael Collins, was also attacked, but he was not injured.
The officers were shot by SKS automatic rifles as they approached a house to serve a warrant to Nathaniel L. Woods, a resident of Fairfield. According to officials, an SKS rifle would be powerful enough to penetrate the bulletproof vests that are a standard item issued to each Birmingham officer. A manhunt immediately ensued, involving Birmingham police, Jefferson County police, Fairfield police, Bessemer state police, as well as officers from the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
At about 3 p.m., a Birmingham tactical police squad stormed a house near 18th Street as part of the investigation. At approximately 3:35 p.m., three men were taken in handcuffs from the house. Birmingham police also reported that Woods, a primary suspect in relation to the shooting, was one of the men in custody.
Birmingham police also took a woman into custody in the north Birmingham neighborhood of Collegeville. The woman was taken from the 29th Court Apartments at approximately 3:45 p.m. She is believed to be the sister of one of the suspects currently in custody.
Owens was described as easy to get along with, well known in town and a leader of the west precinct's patrol division. He joined the Birmingham Police Department in 1977 and was affectionately known as "Curly." He was also a training officer.
Chisholm, 35, was a hardworking patrol officer also well known in his west district, officers said. Nicknamed "Robocop," he joined the force in 1998.
Bennett, 31, joined the department in 2001. His peers, who called him "Roger," said he was a straightforward, no-nonsense cop who loved his job.
