(Harrisburg) — The state Senate has observed a moment of silence today in honor of a Berks County sheriff’s deputy killed in the line of duty last night. Deputy Kyle Pagerly was trying to serve warrant when he was fatally shot pursuing the suspect who was armed with an assault rifle. Democratic Senator Judy Schwank of Berks County remembers Pagerly as an Army veteran who also served the community as a firefighter and K-9 officer trainer. “A wonderful young man. This is a significant loss to us in Berks County and to the people of Pennsylvania, as well,” she says.
