View all 8 ReflectionsOfficer Daniels was my mother's uncle, and she had very fond memories of him. According to my mother, Officer Daniels was killed when he was directing traffic on foot, and a vehicle committed a traffic violation in front of him. As he was writing a citation, the vehicle was hit or side-swiped by another car, fatally injuring Officer Daniels. According to my mom, he survived earlier in his career getting shot in the hand by an armed robber. He was a Nebraska native that enjoyed being with the LAPD!
