BANFIELD: Last week, Missouri officer, Gary Michael, was shot during a routine traffic stop, and he died. And that death has inspired one of his friends, a fellow officer, to honor his fallen brother with a very personal tribute. Deputy Chase Curl knew Gary Michael from their early days in law enforcement and he wrote this song, "Officer Down."</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Officer Down</s>BANFIELD: Very human toll. Deputy Curl and Officer Gary Michael were cadets together at the police academy. He said he broke down when he heard the news of the shooting over his police radio. This coming Saturday that Officer Gary Michael -- or at least last Saturday rather that he was laid to rest. Randy, so often you hear the news, you hear the headline, officer down, you see some of the pomp and circumstance, but you don`t see that personal effect on the work friends.</s>ZELIN: It is so moving. And we lose sight of the fact that police officers, they`re human beings also.</s>BANFIELD: They`re human being too and you can see it in that song. Thanks so much for being here. Thank you, everyone, as well for being here. We`ll see you tomorrow night at 8 o`clock for PRIMETIME JUSTICE. "FORENSIC FILES" is up next. END
Beautiful Tribute for the Fallen.
