Officer Bowlin was shot and killed when he was ambushed at the scene of a domestic dispute call. He and two other officers had responded to the call and attempted to make contact with the residents of the home. After not receiving a response at the door the other two officers walked around back and Officer Bowling began to return to his cruiser. As he walked towards the car he was shot in the head by a suspect who was hiding in nearby bushes.
Officer Bowlin had been with the agency for just under five years.

Bill, I was reflecting on heaven this week, and you came to mind--after these many years. One day, when I see you there, I will get to share with you how much your life and your death honored God in ways you could not have possibly foreseen. I hope the Lord has given you the opportunity to see that from His perspective. Your legacy continues here, as your life continues there with Him. Thank you for loving me. Until we meet again, Viv
