Slowly Developing Threats: The Kyle Dinkheller Incident D
As unpleasant as it may be to critique the actions of fellow offi cers who have been injured or killed in the line of duty, it is even more distasteful to see their blood shed in vain, to deny others the lessons we can learn from their sacrifi ces. The purpose of this column is not to criticize, but to learn from the mistakes and triumphs of those who have faced lethal violence fi rsthand. With this in mind, this column is dedicated to the offi cers whose stories are told here, and to all our fellow offi cers who have been killed and injured in unselfi sh service to their communities.
eputy Kyle Dinkheller was going to be a father again. Earlier in the day, his wife had learned she was pregnant with their second child but hadn’t had the chance to tell him yet. That would have to wait until he got home from work—but she would not get the chance. Andrew Brannan, a reclusive 50-year-old Vietnam veteran with a very short fuse, was about to make sure of that.
