.. 2024 - OFFICER MICHAEL JENSEN

Two law enforcement officers were killed Sunday night in a shootout on a suburban street in Salina. A Syracuse police officer and an Onondaga County Sheriff's deputy were both killed when they went to followup on a traffic stop where the driver sped away.
At a news conference Monday afternoon, authorities said Syracuse police officer Michael Jensen and sheriff's Lt Michael Hoosock died from injuries they suffered in a hail of gunfire. The trouble started with a traffic stop at 7pm in the city's Tipp Hill neighborhood. That's when Syracuse police tried to pull over a car but the driver refused and sped off. Police took the plate number which led them to a home on Darien Drive in Town of Salina.
There police saw guns in the back of the car and then from inside the house they heard the sound of a gun being readied to fire. Gunfire filled the neighborhood as the officers and the suspect exchanged shots. Hoosock was in the backyard of the home when he was shot and killed. Jensen was killed after the gunman moved in to the front yard and confronted the Syracuse officers stationed there. The two officers and the suspect were killed.

.. 2016 - Skiddy Park disturbance

Officer Kelsey Francemone - She heard multiple gunshots originating from disorderly crowd of several hundred gathered at a large party nearby. Without hesitation, she ran toward the direction of the gunshots as panicked people streamed in the opposite direction, and confronted an armed man, who was firing a handgun at other individuals in the crowd. Francemone ordered the individual to drop his weapon. When he didn't comply with her direction, she shot him once, wounding him. The man dropped his weapon and fled around a corner of a building. When she attempted secure the scene and locate the injured man, she was encircled by the crowd, members of which began to physically attack her, by punches and kicks, her uniform was ripped by individuals attempting to take her badge and service weapon. Francemone defended herself throughout the attack, refusing to relinquish either item. Officers responding to the scene pulled their colleague from the melee, but were mobbed by the unruly crowd. The ensuing riot prompted Syracuse Police to seek mutual aid from police agencies throughout Onondaga County. After the incident was under control, investigators later recovered nearly 40 shell casings from the scene and estimated there were roughly a half-dozen gunmen firing weapons in the officers' proximity. The suspect Gary Porter died from the gunshot.
