At 9:30 AM, 1March 2013 Sgt. Gary Morales was shot and killed during a traffic stop in Fort Pierce, Florida. Gary was a 13 year member of the St. Lucie County Sheriff' 's Office. Sgt. Morales was a former member of the US Air Force and recently completed a Masters Degree and promoted to Sgt just 41 days earlier. He was married with two young children.
On 4 March 2013 I attended the funeral of Sgt. Morales along with many other Blue Knights from Florida and hundreds/thousands of police officers from all corners of the USA. A second St. Lucie County officer was also shot on the same morning in an unrelated incident and is expected to survive. Unfortunately this is not an uncommon incident in Florida.
