Roll of Honor
Incident
Lieutenant William Lebo was shot and killed as he and other officers responded to a domestic-related burglary in the 1100 block of Forest Street at about 3:30 pm.
The owners of the house had returned home to discover that an emotionally disturbed relative had broken into the home and remained inside. The man was still inside when officers arrived on the scene. As a reaction team entered the home the man opened fire with a handgun, striking Lieutenant Lebo and two other officers.
Despite their wounds, the officers returned fire and shot the subject, who was later found deceased inside the home.
Lieutenant Lebo was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Lieutenant Lebo had served with the Lebanon City Police Department for 40 years and was scheduled to retire only 30 days later, on May 1st, 2022.
Almost four years later, our lives are still forever changed. So much of who we are today is because of you and the sacrifice you—and your family—made. Derek and I talk about you often, and you’re never far from our thoughts. Your memory and your service will stay alive in us for as long as we’re here. We hope you would be proud. It’s an honor to carry your name forward and to share the story of the hero you were. Your forty years of dedicated service, the husband and father you were—these are the things that defined your life, and they will never be forgotten.
