FARGO (KFGO) – Fargo Police Department posted a story on their Facebook page today to honor fallen hero, Fargo Police Officer Jake Wallin, who was 23 years old.
One year ago today, police were responding to a minor traffic accident in the area of 9th Avenue South and 25th Street South, when a gunman opened fire, ambushing the officers on scene. After firing one shot towards the assailant, Officer Wallin was struck by gunfire and was killed in the line of duty protecting his community. Officer Wallin was sworn into the department on April 19, 2023, and he was in field training at the time of his death.

This event will honor the sacrifice and heroic actions of Fargo Police Officer Jake Wallin, along with other members of The Fargo Police Department and Fargo Fire Department.
A ceremony will begin at 4 p.m. on Sunday in the City Commission Chambers in Fargo City Hall, 225 4th St. N. Members of the public and members of the media are invited to attend this event.
