A respect and beloved former police captain with the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department has passed away after he was been shot by a looter.
According to reports, Dave Dorn was a cop for 38 years, protecting the public and eventually rose as high as captain.
Dorn, a 77-year-old, was working a job as a security guard at Lee’s Pawn and Jewelry – which is said to be his friend’s store – when he was shot and killed during overnight riots that resulted in looting.

St. Louis Police Chief John Hayden said: “He was exercising his law enforcement training. So, in his honor, we are wearing our mourning badge.”
Dorn retired from the St. Louis PD in 2007, going on to become the chief of police in Moline Acres.
Retired police officer David Ellison said Dorn was to thank for helping him out of poverty and getting his life back on track via a career in law enforcement.

“Dave Dorn was a great man. He was fair; the sharpest, cleanest guy,” Ellison said. “He came out of the car; his presence was well-known and observed. He meant business when it was time for business.”
Chief Hayden has said that investigators haven’t yet made an arrest in relation to the shooting. Neither has a suspect yet been identified.
Everyone share this blog to send prayers to Dave’s family at this difficult time. May he rest in peace.
