California Deputy Killed in Hostage Shootout Was Former Marine
First Responders   

By Joshua Skovlund | July 28, 2021

A California SWAT sheriff’s deputy and SWAT team member, who was also a Marine combat veteran, was killed Sunday while attempting to rescue hostages in central California.

Kern County Sheriff’s Deputy Phillip Campas was one of four deputies hit by gunfire and shrapnel during a raid of a home where a man, police later discovered, had murdered his wife and sons.

The suspect was later killed by police when he emerged on the roof of the Wasco home, holding a rifle. Wasco is in Kern County, just outside Bakersfield, about two hours north of Los Angeles.
