WATCH: Bernalillo County Sheriff Allen shares a statement with our community and honors our fallen sergeant who was killed in the line of duty last night.

On the evening of February 23, 2026, just before 5:00 p.m., Sergeant Schlattman called over the radio to advise he was conducting a traffic stop. While he was outside the vehicle, a semi truck struck the rear of his department issued vehicle, ultimately pinning him beneath. Sergeant Schlattman died on scene as a result of his injuries.

The Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office is devastated to announce the line of duty death of Sergeant Michael Schlattman, who died  last night as a result of injuries sustained during a traffic stop on Interstate 40 eastbound near the 170.

Sergeant Schlattman was hired by the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office on April 16, 2012, and was promoted to Sergeant on July 13, 2024. During his career, he served the people of Bernalillo County in multiple assignments, including time as a detective in Special Investigations and Auto Theft, and as a task force officer with the United States Marshals Service and the Drug Enforcement Administration. At the time of his death, Sergeant Schlattman was assigned as a Sergeant in the East Mountains.

This is a heartbreaking loss for the Schlattman family, the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office, and the entire community we serve.

Sergeant Schlattman was the kind of leader deputies hope for and families trust. He was known for being present, involved, and relentless in his support of others. He was not a supervisor who stayed behind a desk. He was consistently out in the field, finding the work, backing his deputies, answering calls for service, and pushing to be proactive. He was the steady voice and the steady presence that made everyone around him better.

Rest In Peace, Hero 💙🖤

Prayers are with the Christian County, Missouri law enforcement community after the loss of two deputies yesterday.🙏🏻

BREAKING UPDATE: A traffic stop, manhunt, and shootout Monday and Tuesday left two deputies dead and two more deputies injured in Christian County, Missouri.

Tuesday morning, law enforcement cleared the scene near the roundabout on State Highway 160, near Reeds Spring. A house and wooded area had been taped off as the crime scene.

It all started around 4 p.m. on February 23. Christian County Deputy Gabriel Ramirez pulled over Richard Bird in a traffic stop. Bird shot Ramirez and drove away. Ramirez was killed. A Blue Alert was issued as law enforcement searched for Bird and his truck.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol used a helicopter and heat mapping to find Bird in a wooded area near where his truck was spotted.

The stand-off led to a shootout around midnight on February 24. It took the life of another Christian County deputy, who has not yet been identified.

“Unfortunately, we lost two of our own tonight,” Christian County Sheriff Brad Cole said, “but doing what they took an oath to do, loved and enjoyed, gave their life not only for citizens they served, but for other officers and deputies involved as well.“

Two more deputies, one from Christian County and one from Webster County, were injured. These injuries are believed to be non-life-threatening.
“Long day, trying day, upcoming days harder,” Cole said. “We do what we have to do to make sure our citizens are safe. That’s what we did today, took the bad guy off the street and sent him where he needed to be.”

Bird was also killed in the gunfight.

The Pickens County Sheriff’s Office, South Carolina, is grieving the loss of Deputy India Rackley, who passed away at 1:39 a.m. this morning following an intense month-long battle with cancer.

Deputy Rackley served her community with unwavering dedication, compassion, and strength. The lives she impacted are too numerous to count. She loved deeply, served faithfully, and represented the thin blue line with honor.

PCSO will forever be proud that she chose to serve alongside them. Her legacy of love, service, and faith will continue to live on through those who had the privilege of knowing her.

Rest Easy Sister. Prayers for her family of blue and blood.🙏🏻
