A Morrow County, Ohio, Sheriff’s deputy was killed Monday (May 26, 2025) while responding to a domestic call in Marengo.

Deputy Daniel Weston Sherrer, 31, was shot after arriving at the location in what the Morrow County Sheriff’s Office called an “officer-involved” shooting.

Deputy Sherrer died at a local hospital.

“The subject was also shot and was transported to a hospital in serious condition,” the sheriff’s office said on Facebook.

The incident is being investigated by the Delaware County Sherriff's Office, with assistance by the Ohio Attorney General's Bureau of Criminal Investigation.

“The Sheriff’s Office is grateful for the outpouring of support from our community and fellow law enforcement officers across the state and country. Our county is a closely-tied community which has always supported its law enforcement agencies and that backing is evident during this time of grief. The many expressions of thoughts and prayers for the Sherrer family and our office are greatly appreciated,” Morrow County Sheriff John L. Hinton said in a statement.

Deputy Sherrer is survived by his parents.
