Add to My HeroesNorman R. Killough
Trooper Norman Killough was accidentally shot and killed by an officer from another agency during an undercover operation.
Trooper Killough and a second trooper were undercover attempting to build credibility for an illegal fencing operation. The joint operation included officers from the Flint Police Department stopping them to hassle them in a high-crime section of town. During the second such stop one of the officer's revolvers accidentally discharged, striking Trooper Killough in the side. He was transported to a local hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.

View all 34 ReflectionsNorm and me were sometimes partners when we worked the Detroit freeways when first called upon in the 70's. Back then, the local State Police Commanders saw this as a way to rid themselves of troublemakers and bad boys. Well, that somewhat backfired as we found ourselves in a kind of Band of Brothers. It's been a long time but I remember.
