A sheriff's office is making sure the daughter of a fallen deputy has a safe first day of kindergarten.

Members of the Edgecombe County Sheriff's Office walked Izabella Manning to her classroom on her first day of kindergarten. Manning is the daughter of Edgecombe County Deputy David Manning, who was killed in the line of duty last year.

The sheriff's office posted on Facebook, "Because Deputy David Manning (839) gave his all, we pledge to give all we have in protecting his offspring, Miss Izabella Manning."

Manning was killed in March of 2018 after his patrol car lost control during a pursuit on Highway 111 near Tarboro and struck an oncoming Chevy pickup truck head on. The 24-year-old deputy was thrown from his vehicle, according to troopers.
