Master Officer Howard Dallies was shot and killed as he approached a motorcycle he had pulled over at 2:45 am in the 10100 block of Aldgate Avenue. Without warning, the motorcycle's driver turned and fired six shots at Master Officer Dallies, striking him four times. Officer Dallies died a few hours after being shot.
The suspect was driving a stolen motorcycle with false tags from a similar bike. The suspect was finally arrested in July 1997 but the charges were dropped.
Officer Dallies is survived by his wife and two young sons. Before joining the Garden Grove Police Department, he had served at least five years with the Orange County Sheriff's Department and the Placentia Police Department.

View all 38 ReflectionsI remember Officer Dallies as one of the good guy's. He helped me out when i was in a bad place. I heard what had happened, I was incredibly saddened, and very upset and I was in denial. I went to his funeral.
I am guessing the shooter was Asian, lots of them are in Garden Grove.
As for me, I taught Sunday school at Cristal Cathedral for a little while, I rejoined the Army, and other things I have done.
