Chief Romer was shot and killed when he responded to a domestic disturbance on Christmas day. He was shot by the male suspect as he arrived at the home. The suspect then drove into town and shot at two citizens before being arrested by the county sheriff.

The sheriff took the man to a jail in Bismark to prevent an angry mob from lynching him.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 85th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered.

I was saddened to see that Christmas Day is the eow for so many, many officers. Rest In Peace.
