Texas officers honored at Baytown memorial service
Fourteen red roses symbolic of Texas officers killed in the line of duty were central at St. Mark’s United Methodist Church as Baytown police and other agencies joined officials and the public in a silence. The roll call named 12 officers and two civilians. One fallen officer, Euless PD’s David Stefan Hofer, was ambushed while responding to gunfire three months earlier. Hofer, born in Switzerland, moved to New York City, later attending NYU. Police from across Texas attended the annual memorial service honoring peace officers killed since May 1 last year.
