Chief Butler was shot and killed while on foot patrol at approximately 0130 hours. He was walking behind the Tecumseh Post Office when he was ambushed by a man underneath a porch. Although he had been shot two times, Chief Butler was able to return fire and empty his revolver, but none of the shots took effect. Chief Butler was taken to a doctor's office where he died approximately eight hours later. Before he died he was able to identify the suspect.
