Members of the Joppa-Magnolia Volunteer Fire Company are particularly grief-stricken after learning one of their own, Harford County Sheriff's Office Deputy Patrick Dailey, was killed in the line of duty Wednesday. "It is with a heavy heart that the Joppa-Magnolia Volunteer Fire Company shares the loss of active life member Patrick 'Pat' B. Dailey," fire company spokesperson Andy Doyle said in statement. Deputy Dailey and Deputy Mark Logsdon were fatally shot in Abingdon Wednesday, while responding to a complaint about a man inside a Panera Bread restaurant. The who police shot them was killed by other deputies.
"Pat dedicated his life to protecting his community. He joined the JMVFC on his 16th birthday and served actively for 37 years," according to the statement.
The fire company changed its social media profile pictures to the Sheriff's Office badge, with the black mourning ribbon through the middle.
