  http://camemorial.org/htmprev/horr58.htm Deputy David A. Horr Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Date of Birth: January 23, 1924 Date Appointed: March 21, 1955 End of Watch: February 9, 1958 Los Angeles county Sheriff's Department Deputy David Horr was assigned to the Montrose Station at the time of his murder. On December 7, a day noted for infamy, Deputy David Horr responded to a disturbance call in La Crescenta during the evening hours. The house was lit but no one answered Deputy Horr's knock so he went to the back door and tried again. His efforts were met with deadly force. A 16-gauge shotgun blast felled him. His immediate concerns were for his fellow deputies as he told them to take cover, he could manage alone. Deputy Horr was rushed to a local hospital with wounds to his stomach and hand. His assailant surrendered after deputies surrounded the house. The weapon was found in the attic and an empty shell was in the suspect's pocket. Deputy Horr died two months later. Cemetery: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=Horr&GSiman=1&GScid=7974&GRid=85428344& [[ Glendale (Ca.) News-Press Published October 24, 2011 Los Angeles County sheriff's officials gathered in La Crescenta Monday to honor fallen comrades ? a deputy who was shot and killed while responding to a domestic violence call and a reserve deputy who drowned while trying reach flood victims. Local and county officials honored the memories of Deputy David Horr and Reserve Deputy Charles Rea, who died in 1957 and 1969, respectively, at a new memorial at the Crescenta Valley station on Briggs Avenue. Horr's son, Don Sutton, said the dedication was a chance to find closure for an old wound. "I never saw my dad again after he left for work that day, I never went to the cemetery, or memorial, this is my three-sixty back to La Ca?nada," said Sutton, 61. "I'm pretty overwhelmed?thanks to the community members that gave time and monies to make this come to fruition, this is yours as well, you made it."
