Today we are thinking of the family of Officer James E. Hendricks. Officer Hendricks was killed in the line of duty on December 15, 1963. Officer Hendricks was shot and killed on Portland Ave after he and his partner responded to call where a man was threatening a woman with a gun. As Officer Hendricks attempted to disarm the man, when he was tragically shot and killed. His dedication to the city of Minneapolis and his bravery in the face of danger will never be forgotten.
