Deputy Sheriff William Coleman was shot and killed while responding to a burglary call in Anthem at approximately 4:15 am.

As he and another deputy arrived at the scene they encountered a male subject inside of a van at a medical building near the intersection of Anthem Way and Gavilan Peak Parkway. As they attempted to make contact with the man he opened fire on them with a rifle, striking Deputy Coleman below his vest. The suspect was killed by return gunfire from other deputies.

Deputy Coleman was transported to John C. Lincoln Deer Valley Hospital where he succumbed to his wounds.

Deputy Coleman had served with the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office for 20 years. He is survived by his wife and several children.

The war against meth/drugs is non-stop. Meth is an insidious scourge on our society. It is evil incarnate. :/

Anyone know of the conditions of the other officers that were shot? I hope they have fully recovered or the recovery is going well.

Two officers have been released from the hospital. The other three are still in the hospital, with the most serious/critical (head and abdomen wounds) in a medically induced coma. More info in the local paper.

It almost seems like we are gravitating towards violence on law enforcement as we saw in the 1970's. It has been a rough past two years and 2012 hasn't started off on the right foot.

To our fallen of 2012, We now have your watch and keep the gates of Vahalla open for us.
