When Policeman Klade arrived at the scene the subject immediately began slashing him and stabbing him, inflicting severe wounds. Policeman Klade attempted to shoot the subject but his gun jammed. The man then pulled his own gun and shot Policeman Klade in the stomach. Other responding officers shot and killed the subject when he opened fire on them as well.

I served 1985 to 1993. You served too, before the badge - different uniform, same idea. You go where you are sent and you do not get to pick the call.
Policeman Klade gave the Los Angeles Police Department 4 years.
Thank you for your service to the Los Angeles community, and for your service before it. Gone but never to be forgotten.
Rest easy, brother.
— S. Vincent Anthony, U.S. Army 1985-1993
