He noted the death was a tough blow for the department but said everyone came into work Tuesday because "that's what we have to do, it's what he would have wanted." In a statement posted on the department's Facebook page, Hinton said Sherrer was shot shortly after he arrived at the home. The deputy and the suspect were both taken to a hospital, where Sherrer was pronounced dead a short time later. The sheriff said Tuesday he has not yet viewed body camera footage of the shooting, so he could not provide further details about what occurred. The suspect remains hospitalized in serious condition. On Tuesday, Hinton spoke with disdain for the suspect and refused to publicly identify the person. "You will never hear his name come from my lips, so if you want the name you will have to get it some other way, I'm not giving it to you," Hinton told reporters. "Why would I? He doesn't deserve it." The Delaware County Sheriff's Office will lead the investigation into the shooting, with assistance from the state's Bureau of Criminal Investigation. The sheriff's office said funeral arrangements for Sherrer will be announced at a later time. He is survived by his parents and numerous loved ones, authorities said.
