I've been here before
A truly tragic death. And the man who shot him was on parole even though he had been sentenced to three life terms in prison. At least Brother Maguire was able to return fire, killing his murderer.

My heart goes out to his family at home and at his Department and in his Lodge. May the Great Architect shelter and protect him.

Rest, weary Craftsman. Thy labors are done.

It's a thin blue line that separates us from the criminal force that would prey upon us. This brave brother's last act made sure this is one criminal who would never hurt anyone else.
Rest in peace, my brother. May your bed be soft and sweet.

Fidelis ad Mortem
In the simple performance of duty,

he pinned on a badge,
checked his gear with a practiced eye,
and kissed his loved ones good-bye.

In the simple performance of duty,
he reported for work,
joked with his buddies at roll call,
and made his last trip down the squadroom hall.

In the simple performance of duty,
he answered the call
to help the helpless, to find the lost,
no matter the danger or how great the cost.

In the simple performance of duty,
he lay down his life,
for those in peril he tried to save,
our brave friend went to his grave.

In the simple performance of duty,
we honor his deed,
as we carry him to rest in a flag-draped casket,
long after the world has forgotten, we shall never forget.

Never judge or regret, what he did, In the simple performance of duty.​
