Add to My HeroesAdolph Frederick Bush
Patrolman Adolph Bush was shot and killed while responding to a domestic assault in Randlett, Utah.
When he arrived at the scene he was directed to a rear room of the house where the suspect was located. As he entered the bedroom the male subject shot him in the chest with a .30-.30 carbine rifle. The subject shot him a second time after he fell to the ground.
The man used a radio in Patrolman Bush's patrol car to call other officers, who arrived at the scene and arrested him. The man appeared before a notoriously liberal federal judge who released him.
Patrolman Bush was a U.S. Army veteran. He had served with the United States Bureau of Indian Affairs Police for two months and was assigned to the Northern Ute Uintah Ourray Reservation. He was survived by his wife and two young children.
