Retired Lancaster police officer Ray Knight was just trying to help at a wreck scene on Lynwood Circle when he was shot in the face on June 27.
As Knight approached the car, the occupants ran in the opposite direction, and one of those occupants shot Knight, Sheriff Johnny Cauthen said.
Knight was the second person shot in that area that night; he had no idea the occupants of the wrecked car were somehow connected to a shooting.
“He was going to render aid – doing what he was trained to do and was brutally shot,” Cauthen said.
