Officer McVay was shot and killed during an attempted prison escape at approximately 1415 hours. One of the prisoners attempting to escape took his own life with the same gun used to shoot McVay.

The weapons had been smuggled into the prison's visitor area by accomplices of the inmates.

Your heroism and service is honored today on the 82nd 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 who was murdered in the the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer. He was shot twice when ambushed on April 23rd when he was on a foot pursuit of two bank robbers. Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered.

Rest In Peace.
