A gunman opened fire on police and firefighters “for no known reason” as they responded to a traffic crash in North Dakota, killing one officer and wounding two others before another officer killed him, Fargo’s police chief said Saturday.
Asked if Barakat was known to police, Zibolski said, “I believe we have had contact with him, but not anything significant."Several people witnessed the crash and the shooting, which occurred on a busy Fargo street.
"He meant a lot to the department. He had an excellent sense of humor,” Zibolski said of the slain officer, who had also deployed to Afghanistan as part of the U.S. military. He recalled that on his first day on the job, Wallin jokingly corrected the chief on the pronunciation of his surname, saying, “'It’s wah-LEEN.'”
“Throughout my entire life, I’ve always wanted to work in some sort of position that had purpose behind my job and police officer is always what kind of came to me,” Wallin said. “I don’t want to be sitting in an office wondering why I’m here every day. I want to be out, I want to be doing something that I can tell myself at the end of the day I made a difference somehow.”
