Jen at Double Nickle Farm reported:

It is with a heavy heart that I must update my previous post with this news. A city police officer was killed this morning in our little community. We on the farm know this young officer, and his loss is devastating to each and every one of us. Since early this morning we have been coming to terms with this and the people of Alamogordo have been amazing in their love and support.

With deepest sympathy the farm announces the loss of

Officer Clint Corvinus.
