SUGAR LAND, Texas — A Sugar Land police officer and his fellow colleagues chipped in to help a grieving firefighter whose car was broken into. What made this offense sink to a new low, is the victim was guarding the body of one of his fallen comrades.
“It was a burglary of a motor vehicle call,” said Matthew Shockey, a Sugar Land police officer. Shockey thought he was going to an ordinary call when he was dispatched to Settegast-Kopf Funeral Home on 15015 Southwest Freeway early Tuesday. But it wasn’t.
“I got there and it was a fire fighter, he was in full dress uniform, if you will,” Officer Shockey said.
