TCSO Deputy Killed in the Line of Duty, Residents Urged to Shelter in Place

Sheriff Boudreaux is devastated to announce the loss of a Tulare County Sheriff’s Office Deputy, after he was shot and killed this morning in Porterville.

Around 10:20 a.m. on 4/9/26, TCSO Deputies were in the area Newcomb and Grand in Porterville serving an eviction notice, when 60-year-old David Morales opened fire on them, hitting one TCSO Deputy.

The Deputy was rushed to a local hospital, where we are heartbroken to confirm, he passed away.

Right now, Deputies are still on scene, as Morales is outstanding and shots are still being fired.

Sheriff Boudreaux wants to urge anyone in that area to shelter in place.
All schools in the area are also lockdown.

Sheriff Boudreaux has met with the fallen Deputy’s family and offered his deepest condolences. All of us at the Tulare County Sheriff’s Office are shocked and incredibly saddened by today’s tragic events. We ask that you keep our Deputy’s grieving family in your prayers.

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God” 💙 -Matthew 5:9
