SUMMARY: Nine years ago, Hattisburg police officers Lori Tate and Benjamin Dean were shot and killed during a traffic stop on East 4th Street in Hattisburg. Since then, the community has come together to honor and remember the fallen officers every year. On the anniversary of their deaths, First Responders, the officers' families, and the mayor gather on East 4th Street to pay tribute. The community's support and remembrance mean a lot to the department and the families of the officers. A scholarship was also presented in Dean and Tate's honor to two High School seniors at the memorial. It was a tragic and somber day for all involved.
