Good morning.

Those of us at the Enterprise grieve the loss of Joseph Johnson, an active community volunteer who was killed while on duty as a reserve police corporal for the Nyssa Police Department.

We offer condolences to his wife, their children and the rest of the family.

Our team has worked hard to bring you up-to-date and accurate information on developments. Continue to count on the Malheur Enterprise in the coming days.

You can possibly help. We want to talk with colleagues, friends and relatives of the fellow known as JJ so we can share a complete picture of him. If you are interested in talking, please send an email to Editor Les Zaitz ([email protected])
