Despite immediate medical attention, Deputy Clinkunbroomer succumbed to his injuries, leaving the law enforcement community and his loved ones in mourning.
The shooting occurred while Deputy Clinkunbroomer was on duty and in uniform, leaving no doubt that he was intentionally targeted, according to officials familiar with the case.
