Clarence Peck, as you noted, died of an accidental gunshot wound in 1911. Richard Morris was shot while on duty in 1969. The two other officers shot in the line of duty were DEA agents working in Pasadena, but not Pasadena Officers.Petrea Burchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043950465171821852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-55529592837254553422009-11-23T19:52:55.556-08:002009-11-23T19:52:55.556-08:00Actually Pasadena PD itself has only had one offic...Actually Pasadena PD itself has only had one officer murdered in the line of duty (Morris), in 1969.

Thank you.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the links, Dianne. When I was over at the PPD the sergeant I spoke to told me a little about those deaths. I'm sure a police officer knows the dangers when s/he takes the job, but that doesn't make a death less tragic. Heroes all.<BR/><BR/>Right, AH. Anon would be a good contender.
