A gun battle between a fugitive task force and a convicted felon wanted for firearms possession resulted in the tragic deaths of Deputy U.S. Marshal Thomas Weeks Jr., William “Alden” Elliott, Sam Poloché, and Joshua Eyer. Eyer is remembered for his inspirational impact on a student who aspired to a career in law enforcement: “I will remember the impact he made on our school, in the community.”
