| David Smith |
David was a member of the Johnson City Police Department. He had 18 1/2 years of service.
After 7:00 a.m., Officer Smith and others responded to an emergency call regarding a disturbance at a Medical Clinic. A bomb threat may have been phoned in. A bomb squad was dispatched to the scene. When Officer Smith arrived, a suspect appeared hollering and very agitated, who then reached into the patrol car and managed to grab the officer’s firearm. Officer Smith never got a chance to even leave his vehicle before he was set upon. The suspect then shot Officer David Smith several times.

| James Clark |
The suspect was then shot by another officer at the site.
The suspect was James Clark, age 43, of Greene, New York. He died in surgery at the hospital.
The suspect was James Clark, age 43, of Greene, New York. He died in surgery at the hospital.
He was an MRI Technician at the medical complex. He is described as a model employee with no prior serious police record. He did not appear to his colleagues to be mentally unstable before this date. There is no readily apparent motive for his attack of Officer Smith. It is believed that James Clark had a wife and a child or children.

| Michael, Archangel, Patron Saint of the Police, pray for David Smith |
It is obvious that James Clark had some sort of complete and total mental breakdown. It is tragic that this breakdown involved the violent death of an innocent police officer.
The Johnson City Police Department is in mourning over the death of their brother. He was a good officer who will be greatly missed.
David Smith's family are devastated over his tragic and senseless death. He will be forever mourned.
David is survived by many loving comrades, friends and family members including his wife and child.
Thank you for your service to the public, David.
Pray for all who die in the line of duty.
God save us from the Lost Ones who bring death to strangers.
Pray that David is in heaven. Pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen.
