Line of Duty VSPA member Kennedy, Michael W. has reported news from California as follows: For anyone who had not heard, a Security Policeman, TSgt Robert B. Butler, was killed in the Line of Duty Saturday (01-10-98) morning while making a traffic stop at Edwards Air Force Base, California. The suspect later killed himself and it was determined that he had also killed another airman and dumped the body near a base landfill prior to TSgt Butler stopping him. I obtained the below information from the 95th SF First Sergeant and thought I would pass it along to others who might be interested. I am planning on attending the funeral along with some other local law enforcement people who are former security police. Funeral Arrangements: Technical Sergeant Robert B. Butler A semi-private funeral has been planned for TSgt Robert B. Butler, who was Killed in the Line of Duty while making a traffic stop at Edwards Air Force Base, CA, at 2 a.m. Saturday, January 10, 1998. At the request of TSgt Butler’s family the funeral service will be open to base military personnel and invited guests and other law enforcement personnel only. The services will be closed to the media at the request of the family. Date: Thursday, January 15, 1998 Base Public Affairs Office, 1-805-277-3510 |
