Remembering Officer DeLong | Columbia News

Columbia mourns Officer Chris DeLong, 28, fatally shot in the line of duty during a domestic violence call on August 28. A memorial service is set for Friday at 11 AM at Riverland Hills Baptist Church, preceded by a one-hour lie-in-state and a community procession starting at 9:15 AM from Dunbar Funeral Home. The suspect, Adam Dowdy, was killed in a police shootout; another officer, David Dymock, was injured but has recovered. The day honors DeLong’s sacrifice, unites the city in grief, and celebrates the courage of those who serve — a solemn tribute to a fallen hero and the bonds that hold the community together.
