One of two Pierce County Sheriff's deputies wounded in an exchange of gunfire as they tried to arrest a man south of Tacoma, Washington, has died, authorities said Wednesday. Dominique "Dom" Calata, 35, died following Tuesday's shootout in Spanaway, according to a statement from the Pierce County Sheriff's Department.
The News Tribune reports Calata was taken to St. Joseph's Medical Center in Tacoma after the shooting. He had been with the sheriff's department for more than six years and was in the National Guard. Before that, Calata served five years in the U.S. Army. He graduated from Pacific Lutheran University, was married and had a 4-year-old son.
The sheriff's department shared a video of Calata reading a children's book for what the department called "Storytime with a Sheriff." Calata, who said he was working the graveyard shift, chose a book called "Moon" by Britta Teckentrupp.
