Officer Andrew Duarte: Saved a Life Then Gave His Own

Описание: On February 22, 2025, Officer Andrew Duarte of the West York Borough Police Department responded to a terrifying active shooter situation inside UPMC Memorial Hospital in York, Pennsylvania. In a split-second decision that would define his legacy, Officer Duarte was struck by gunfire while rescuing a wounded colleague. Despite his injuries, he dragged that officer to safety—before succumbing to his own wounds.

At just 30 years old, Duarte had served with multiple departments and was known for his fearless commitment to duty. His selfless actions that day are a reminder of the real risks our officers face—and the bravery they carry into every call.

💙 Join us in honoring a true hero.
