U.S.Sen. Jerry Moran, R-Kansas, gave a speech on the Senate floor on Wednesday honoring Sgt. Scott Heimann of the Hays Police Department, who was killed in the line of duty on Sunday.
Moran said in a Facebook post:
"Hays Police Officer Sgt. Scott Heimann tragically died on Sunday while defending his community from harm. Hays is a small, tight-knit town, and the loss of this young man is deeply heartbreaking for us.
We will always remember Sgt. Heimann's sacrifice and honor the legacy he leaves behind. My prayers are with Sgt Heimann’s wife, children and the entire law enforcement and Hays community during this difficult time."
Senator Marshall also introduced a Senate resolution to honor the life and sacrifice of Sgt. Heimann.
