ABINGDON, Md. (AP) - A viewing is taking place for one of the two Harford County sheriff's deputies who were killed in a shootout earlier this week in Abingdon.

The Joppa-Magnolia Volunteer Fire Company says a viewing for Senior Deputy Patrick B. Dailey will take place Monday and Tuesday from 2 to 9 p.m. at Mountain Christian Church in Joppa.

The funeral will be conducted at 10 a.m. Wednesday at the same church.

Dailey and Senior Deputy Mark Logsdon were killed in a shopping center shootout Wednesday by David Evans, who was also killed. A viewing for Logsdon will take place Thursday and Friday from 2 to 9 p.m., also at Mountain Christian Church in Joppa. His funeral will take place Feb. 20 at 10 a.m.

The children of a Harford County Sheriff's deputy fatally shot last week have released a statement thanking the community for its support.

Children React

Bryan and Tyler Dailey, children of 30-year department veteran Patrick released the statement Saturday.

The statement, sent by department spokeswoman Cristie Kahler, said the family's "spirits are lifted with the knowledge that this community loved our Dad.

"He is being called a 'hero' for the job he did and the lives he saved. We have called him a hero for a long time-just for being our dad," it read.

"Our Dad died doing a job he loved, serving the community he called home."
