Officer Estes was shot and killed as he and an unarmed guard attempted to wrestle a gun away from a shooting suspect. The man had entered the court building at 6th and P Streets, NW, and opened fire because he was upset over a $125 refund. During the struggle the guard was shot in the mouth and Officer Estes was shot twice in the chest. He was able to return fire and strike the suspect four times.

My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer who was murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.
