JOPPA, Md. (AP) - The Harford County community will have a chance to honor the memory of a sheriff's deputy who was killed in the line of duty earlier this month.

The viewing for Mark Logsdon, a 16-year veteran of the Harford County Sheriff's Department, will begin Thursday at the Mountain Christian Church in Joppa.

Logsdon was fatally shot by 68-year-old Brian Evans, who first opened fire on another deputy, Patrick Dailey, a 30-year department veteran, inside a Panera Bread restaurant in Abingdon on Feb. 10. Logsdon came into contact with Evans minutes later in a parking lot nearby and was fatally shot. Responding deputies killed the gunman.

The fatal shootings were the first such killings of law enforcement officers in Harford County since 1899.

Dailey was honored at the same church Wednesday.
