Aug. 16: A former Marine turned San Diego Police officer was shot while sitting in his patrol car on Saturday. But, minutes before he was killed, Officer Jeremy Henwood bought three cookies for a 13-year-old he’d never met before. NBC’s Lee Cowan reports.

Unbearably saddened to view that story. The courageous and the kind are the people we need in this world, there are few enough of them as there is.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — The uncle of a man suspected of fatally shooting a San Diego police officer in an unprovoked attack says the news came out of the blue.

Larry Cowans said Monday that his 23-year-old nephew — Dejon Marquee White — lived alone in a rented apartment for about a year after several years living with friends. The occasional construction worker just bought a used black Audi sedan.

Police killed Williams Saturday after he allegedly shot Officer Jeremy Henwood, a Marine Corps Reserve captain who recently completed a year-long deployment in Afghanistan.

White had a minor criminal record. Police Capt. Jim Collins says he had no history of mental illness.

This officer was killed simply because of the vehicle he was in and the uniform he wore.
