Derymer was a married father of two, a former Marine, and is described as a warm and great person and officer. RIP.

Brown had a long and violent criminal record; too bad he wasn't locked up. His record includes arrests for domestic battery, aggravated battery of a pregnant person, intimidation, dealing heroin near a school or park, cocaine possession, eluding arrest.

Brown was also killed during the shoot out. Family members described him has someone who was always attracted to crime and who praised criminals who engaged in shootings with police. He reportedly hated police and authorities.
