| Ken Copeland |
Officer Copeland was a member of the San Marcos Police Department. He had 19 years of service.
San Marcos has a population of 62,000 and is located 50 miles northeast of San Antonio, Texas.
Just before 2:30 p.m., Ken and other officers were attempting to serve a warrant on a man who was wanted on a crime of violence. As the officers approached the man's home in a city neighbourhood, the male suspect opened fire, striking Ken multiple times.
Ken was rushed to a local hospital where, tragically, he succumbed to his wounds.
The shooter surrendered after a brief standoff with members of the regional SWAT Team.
Ken was working on his day off when he died. He often did this for several reasons - to support his family and to help out the police department when they were short-handed. He also worked with the Cub Scouts program at a local elementary school and worked security at a local church.
A funding site has been set up to help Ken's family with expenses.

| Michael, Patron Saint of the Police, pray for Ken and for those who have lost him. |
The members of the San Marcos Police Department are in mourning over the death of their brother. Ken was a well-liked and well-respected member of the Department. He was one of the good guys. He will be forever remembered.
Ken's loved ones are devastated by his sudden and tragic death. He was loved. He did his best. He will be forever mourned.
Ken is survived by many loving comrades, friends and family members including his wife and four children.
Thank you for your service to the community, Ken.
Pray for justice for Ken.
Pray for all who die in the line of duty.
Pray for all who die suddenly. They are with us one moment and are gone before we can say goodbye.
God save us from the psychopaths. They are killing us, Father. Amen.
Pray that Ken is in Heaven. Pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen.
