The two other officers shot were undergoing treatment Saturday night, Perok said. He added that police were investigating what led up to the shooting, which took place at around 5:30 p.m.

"We ask for everyone’s thoughts and prayers as our department deals with this tragic loss,” the police department said in a statement announcing Guindon’s death.
