Although police later realized the woman had already been shot to death and her assailant had killed himself in the house, acting Chief John Barratt said he recommended the trio for the Medal of Bravery because he felt they were very couraâ€" geous. "It‘s one of those situations where they had no idea what the gunman was doing. To the best of our knowlâ€" edge, he was alive and in the house and could have shot them at any time with a highâ€"powered rifle, and the lady was lying on the driveway. brave. 39 "So these three officers put themâ€" selves in jeopardy... It was extremely © 1994 PCA Int‘l, Inc. Police spokesman Sergeant Joe Martin said this will be the first time Halton police officers will receive such an award. Martin said he believes there are few officers anyâ€" where in Canada who have gotten it. ""You wouldn‘t believe how excitâ€" ed everybody is around here about this. This is so uncommon. Sergeant Carroll â€" who works at police headquarters in Oakville where he oversees the force‘s emergency services unit â€" said he feels embarâ€" rassed by the medal. "We‘re so proud of these guys. It‘s unfortunate the incident turned out the way it did, but a deed is a deed." "I feel it‘s nice to get the recogniâ€" tion, but I feel any other officer put in my position would have done the same thing," said Constable Couce, a policeman for almost 10 years. "We were just doing our job and that‘s all we did, and this kind of recognition is nice, but it‘s embarrassâ€" ing," said Sergeant Carroll, a policeâ€" man for 20 years. Constable Couce â€" a useâ€"ofâ€"force instructor at the training bureau at headquarters â€" is also modest about getting the award. "I just happened to be there, so I did what was asked of me and that was it." Constable Doherty, who works in uniform patrol in Burlington, said the focus is on the wrong issue. "There‘s been lots of attention paid to this award," said Constable Doherty, who marks his 14th year on the force this week. "I think the thing that has really been overlooked is the violence against her." Constable Doherty added that he and the other two just did what they‘ve been trained to do as memâ€" bers of the tactical and rescue unit. than 14 other states across the United States, a group of education industry and government organizations formed a unique partnership t! plan and stage this historic event. | Using a concept that was pioneered in Nebraska and adapted in mo;l Groundwater is an important source of water for regions that don‘ have access to fresh water supplies.
