RIP Senior Deputy Mark Logsdon, left, and Senior Deputy Pat Dailey
Jeremy Evans told reporters that his mother alerted authorities and left the crowded Panera restaurant where the first shooting occurred before a deputy arrived. She had been shot in the neck in 1998, 10 years after divorcing the shooter David Evans - 68, and always believed that her ex was the one who did it.
Jeremy and his mother had been estranged from the shooter for decades when she began seeing him in the area. David Evans was described as an alcoholic vagrant with warrants out for his arrest.
Dailey was the officer who first approached Evans inside a Panera just before noon. When he approached Evans to engage him, Evans pulled a gun and shot Dailey before he could react. Fortunately, none of the restaurant's patrons were hurt.
Dailey, a former Marine, is survived by his girlfriend, two children and his mother. Dailey also served with the Joppa-Magnolia Volunteer Fire Company. He received a Stay of Life award in 2003 for rescuing a driver pinned inside a burning car on Christmas Eve.
Logsdon was the second deputy to respond to the scene, and he was also shot by Evans, who had fled to a car in the parking lot of a senior living apartment center, authorities said. Logsdon was able to return fire before other deputies shot and killed Evans.
Logsdon, who previously served with the U.S. Army, is survived by his wife, three children and his parents. He was honored with a Valor commendation in 2006 for getting a suicidal man to put down a shotgun.
It is believed that Evans shot the deputies because he didn't want to go to jail. Evans had warrants out for his arrest in Harford County and Orange County, Florida, where he was accused of assaulting a police officer.
