Marcus Lee Hall, Sr.

Sheriff Hall was shot and killed as he was attempting to arrest a man for shooting the man's wife. Sheriff Hall had initially responded to a restaurant where the initial crime occurred but then went to the man's residence after learning the suspect had fled. When he arrived at the scene the suspect came out of the home with a handgun and opened fire. Sheriff Hall returned fire and both men were killed.
Sheriff Hall normally did not carry a firearm. He kept his service weapon in his vehicle and only carried it in circumstances he thought he would need it. He is survived by his son and daughter.

Heavenly Father, You are Compassionate and Merciful. None of America’s Peace Officers leave home without the fear of not returning at the end of their watch. It is a fear that is lived daily. Unfortunately, the worst does sometimes come to pass, and lives are left shattered. Lord God, bless and keep the hearts and souls of those who have lost loved ones in the line of duty. Wipe away the tears from their eyes. Soothe their pain and bind up their emotional wounds through the wounds of Your beloved Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. In His name, and by His authority, I pray. Amen.
