Register Guard--
Chris Kilcullen, a 12 Year veteran of the City of Eugene police force currently assigned to the motorcycle traffic team died in the line of duty last night while trying to stop Cheryl D. Kidd, 56, of Springfield on Hwy 126 in the Thurston area.
Kidd fled the scene and was later taken into custody unharmed after she turned into a US forest service road reaching a dead-end.
Kilcullen is survived by his wife and two kids.
sometimes we forget just how much of a dangerous world it really is out there especially when it hits home in our own little community, because you would expect this to happen more in larger cities like Los Angeles or New York.
we have actually been lucky in this area while even though a few officers have been shot while performing their duty, Kilcullen was actually the first officer to die in Lane County since 1934.
our hearts go out to him and his family and to all those who every day who risk their lives in order to protect ours.
