Three days of death and a week of grief.
Two court bailiffs were killed and a deputy was injured Monday after an inmate grabbed the deputy's gun outside a holding cell in a Michigan courthouse, Berrien County Sheriff L. Paul Bailey said.
After shooting the officers, inmate Larry Darnell Gordon tried to take hostages in the courtroom area, shot a woman in the arm and was fatally shot by other bailiffs when he tried to flee, Bailey said.
Killed were Joseph Zangaro, 61, and Ron Kienzle, 60, according to CNN affiliate WXMI. They both had retired earlier from other law enforcement agencies and then served more than a decade each as bailiffs, Bailey said.
"Our hearts are torn apart," Bailey said. "They were our friends. They were our colleagues. I've known them over 30 years."
The injured deputy is James Atterbury, 41, WXMI said. He underwent surgery at Lakeland Health in St. Joseph and was expected to recover, Bailey said. The civilian woman who was shot also suffered non-life-threatening injuries, he said. Her identity was not released.
The shootings, which happened in St. Joseph, a small town on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan, occurred just a few days after a sniper killed five police officers in Dallas.
It began with the police killing of Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. It continued with the death of Philando Castile, killed by police during a traffic stop in Falcon Heights, Minnesota. And it reached its tragic climax in Dallas after five police officers were killed by a sniper, who told police he was angry about the deaths of Sterling and Castile.
Three other shootings -- in Tennessee, Missouri and Georgia -- have also endangered cops this week.
People turned out in large numbers throughout the country to demonstrate against police use of force and remember the five fallen officers.
It was one of the more heart-wrenching weeks in recent American history, and much of it was recorded on the cell phones of those who witnessed it first hand.
This is what Americans saw, how they mourned and came together.
