Patrolman O'Malley was shot and stabbed to death by a drunk man he had arrested. Patrolman O'Malley was able to return fire killing the suspect.
Patrolman Thomas O'Malley,
The circumstances of your death are among the most horrific. To have died in the act of making an arrest whereby you were stabbed and shot is to have died in the heat of battle. We who wear the uniform and call ourselves soldiers of the law can now only stand and admire your courage. Protecting others is the essence of our existence. Dedication, Commitment and Valor speak for you now and they deem you a Hero among Heros. Embrace the legion of others who have made this sacrifice before you and enter enternity knowing that we remember you. To you, sir, I render a final salute.
Cpl. Ralph D. Fiorenza (Ret.)
