“He knew the danger of the job but he never shied away from his duty”, his mother Susan Ehlke said in statement.

Napolean comforted Krol’s family after the tragedy. It was at that point that Ehlke became anxious according to a report in the Free Press.

‘He was a guy that was serving others, ‘ Brian Schoenbaechler, Krol’s brother-in-law, said. “And he gave his life in service of others”.

“There is absolutely no excuse for the citizens to rise up against the very people that have sworn to protect them”, Wayne County Sheriff Benny Napolean said.

The private service for Krol is underway Friday at Prestonwood Baptist Church Mortuary, but he will be laid to rest in his home state of MI on Tuesday, according to the Detroit Free Press.

The funeral was scheduled for the following morning.
