What Happened

Deputy Sheriff Val Pascal succumbed to a gunshot wound he received from a man he had arrested for failing to appear in court on a DUI charge in Leeds, North Dakota. At 2 p.m., Deputy Pascal placed the subject, whom he knew well, in the back of his patrol car. He had taken his place behind the wheel when the suspect shot him in the back of the head with a homemade .22 caliber pistol. The suspect then shot and killed himself. The suspect had no prior record and had never been a threat to the community. Deputy Pascal died at St. Luke's Hospital in Fargo the next morning. Deputy Pascal was a United States Army veteran and had served with the Benson County Sheriff's Office for two years.
