I was in high school when this happened. The entire school was talking about this the next day, and for days afterwards. There was only one story being circulated around the school, and I certainly cannot vouche for the accuracy of that story. I don't want to say more, only that the story being told now has been altered. Yes, he was killed in his squad car when a train hit the car at the Atlantic Street railroad crossing. The part about the car stalling on the tracks due to mechanical reasons was not the story in 1980. Thank you.
