SDPD Officer Receives Badge of Bravery
A San Diego police officer was given one of the highest honors in law enforcement.
Officer Wade Irwin received the congressional badge of bravery from Congressman Duncan Hunter Monday.
In 2016, a suspect opened fire on Irwin and his partner, Officer Jonathan DeGuzman.
DeGuzman died in the shooting. Irwin was shot in the neck but he was able to return fire and wound the suspect.
NBC 7’s Greg Bledsoe reports on the recognition awarded to Officer Irwin.
