On April 12, 2024, Officer Mamadou Diallo and other officers responded to a suspicious vehicle at Horn Lake Road. On scene, officers located 2 males asleep inside the vehicle. A Glock 9mm equipped with a full auto switch and narcotics were in plain view. As the officers approached to make contact, one of the males opened fire on them. Officer Diallo was hit on his Safariland® Xtreme® XT03 Level II armor worn in an M2 carrier. His armor stopped the 9mm round. A gunfight ensued. One officer and one assailant were fatally wounded. The second assailant was taken into custody and faces multiple felony charges. Officer Diallo was treated and released and has returned to full duty.
We welcome Officer Mamadou Diallo as Save #2212 to The Safariland Group Saves Club®.
