This sheriff couldn’t save officer Jacob Pickett. But he might be able to save others.

Deputy Jacob Pickett may have been beyond saving, but that didn’t stop Boone County Sheriff Mike Nielsen from trying.
Pickett, 34, was shot in the head during a police pursuit in Lebanon on March 2, 2018. Alleged shooter Anthony Baumgardt fired three rounds at the deputy as he ran, hitting him once as he came around a building with his K-9.
The bullet that struck him, his widow would later reveal, killed him instantly.
