Miami Valley law enforcement sees fallen Morrow County deputy off on journey home
DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) — Law enforcement from across the state was in downtown Dayton to honor the life of a fallen brother.
Morrow County Deputy Daniel Sherrer was shot and killed on Memorial Day while responding to a domestic violence call at a residence south of Marengo, a community of fewer than 300 people approximately 35 miles north of Columbus.
Sherrer, 31, had been a Morrow County deputy since May 2021.

On Wednesday, members of the law enforcement community gathered to honor Sherrer's ultimate sacrifice as the ambulance carrying his body departed the Miami Valley Regional Crime Lab for Morrow County.
The Montgomery County Sheriff's Office attended the procession, and said Sherrer will be remembered for his selfless act by his brothers and sisters in law enforcement as well as the very community he served.
'This was a domestic violence call,' said Major Jeremy Roy, Montgomery County Sheriff's Office chief of staff. 'He is there to save that person who is being victimized and he unfortunately made the ultimate sacrifice with his life.
'It's one of those things that I don't think the community ever shies away from. They understand what that means. And you'll see them line up from the procession the day to his funeral, things like that, just to come out and say thank you.'
Expected to be charged in the case is Brian Michael Wilson, 53, of Marengo, who was struck during the shootout. Court records showed a warrant for an aggravated murder charge has been filed against him, and an affidavit described the encounter that led to Sherrer's death.

Patriots Make Final Decision on Stefon Diggs After Viral Video Controversy
Patriots Make Final Decision on Stefon Diggs After Viral Video Controversy originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New England Patriots are already facing a controversy with Stefon Diggs long before the star wide receiver has taken even a single snap for the franchise. Advertisement A video of Diggs on a yacht over Memorial Day weekend in possession of an unidentified and powdery "pink substance," which some have speculated may have been/contained illegal drugs, went viral following its release. That incident sparked questions about how one of the NFL's most storied franchises, known for its no-nonsense approach to the game, might handle discipline regarding the four-time Pro Bowler who just inked a $63.5 million deal to join the team as second-year QB Drake Maye's top target in the pass game. Former Houston Texans wide receiver Stefon Becker-Imagn Images Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel briefly addressed the issue in recent days, saying the franchise wouldn't litigate in public and that all decisions would be in-house and shared on a need-to-know basis. Advertisement Ian Rapoport of NFL Network on Monday, June 2, reported that New England had come to a final decision on Diggs' future with the team moving forward. "From The Insiders on [NFL Network]: The #Patriots have no plans to release Stefon Diggs," Rapoport wrote. "They have high hopes for him… and him showing up to OTAs was a good thing." Diggs is coming off of a torn ACL he suffered with the Houston Texans last season, which cost him nine regular season games as well as both of Houston's two playoff contests. Diggs has amassed nearly 10,500 receiving yards and 70 touchdowns over a 10-year NFL career. He will play the upcoming campaign at 32 years old.

School nurse helps rescue grandfather who fell during hike at Utah canyon
Ashley Anderson was hiking in with her two kids and her dogs on Memorial Day when she heard yelling. "I look over and I didn't even know what I was looking at at first," she said. "It took me a second to register that it was a body." A 64-year-old grandfather had fallen 20 feet down waterfall in Utah's Adams Canyon. Anderson, a school nurse, sprang into action and used her training to help him. She told NBC affiliate KSL of Salt Lake City that the man had an "obviously broken" leg and that his head was "sliced open and bleeding." When Anderson arrived, she and other hikers who had pitched in to help moved him out of the cold water that was covering him. She then began first aid. She said she told the group she needed something to stop bleeding on the man's head. "This guy rips off his shirt and throws it on me, so we put that on his head, and several of us picked him up and moved him to a dry area over on the rocks," Anderson recalled. Rescue teams responded, using a helicopter to drop rescuers into the canyon before they lifted the man back up to safety. Authorities said that the man was hiking with his children and grandchildren and that he fell after they got separated, KSL reported. Anderson told the station the man's family said he slipped and fell into the canyon. The station reported he shattered his kneecap and broke his femur but is expected to make a full recovery. "I kind of think that I did what anyone would do," Anderson said. "I don't feel like I did anything like more heroic or more incredible." This article was originally published on
