Eunice police officer honored

Family members of Elmo Quirk, the only police officer ever killed in the line of duty in Eunice, gathered at Eunice City Hall Wednesday for a flag presentation and raising. Quirk was killed by a drunken driver Jan. 4 1965. The flag was donated by Concerns of Police Survivors and will be given to the family later this week.
