The two “hero” upstate law-enforcement officers killed in a Sunday night shootout with a gun-wielding madman have been identified as Syracuse cop Michael Jenson and Onondaga County Sheriff’s Deputy Michael Hoosock.
Jensen had been with the department for about three years and was known as an ambitious, hard-working policeman.
The sheriff’s deputy had been with the office for a longer time and “was just a great guy,” according to county Sheriff Toby Shelley.
“This is a dark day for Syracuse,” city Mayor Ben Walsh said earlier Monday. “This is our worst nightmare come true.”
Authorities identified the officers’ killer earlier Monday as Christopher Murphy, a 33-year-old man from the Syracuse suburb of Salina.
Murphy also died during the gun battle, which happened outside his house about 9 p.m.

Imagine if Allied intelligence had located Adolf Hitler in late May 1944 and killed him before the Normandy invasion. Imagine that in the same hour, strikes eliminated Hitler’s designated successor, the head of the German Armed Forces High Command, the chief operational planner of the war effort, Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, responsible for defending Western Europe, and the rest of Germany’s field marshals and senior commanders.
