FARGO, N.D. — A Fargo police officer died Thursday of a gunshot wound suffered while responding to a domestic disturbance hours earlier, becoming just the second Fargo officer to die in the line of duty and the first in more than a century.
Officer Jason Moszer, 33, a six-year veteran of the force with a wife and two children, died about 12:45 p.m. Moszer was hit while standing outside a house near downtown about 7 p.m. Wednesday, and police had warned overnight that he wasn’t expected to survive.
Family members visited him in a hospital early Thursday to say goodbye, Fargo Police Chief David Todd said.
Fargo Mayor Tim Mahoney said in a statement the city was “profoundly saddened” by the death of Moszer, who won a Silver Star commendation after he and another officer were credited with risking their lives in 2011 to rescue two children from an apartment fire.
