Sergeant Ron Helus was shot and killed after responding to an active shooter at a bar at 99 Rolling Oaks Drive in Thousand Oaks last night.

When he arrived, Sergeant Helus heard gunfire coming from inside the bar, which was occupied by nearly 200 college students. He immediately made entry into the bar and confronted the shooter but was shot and severely wounded. Civilians and other deputies pulled Sergeant Helus from the bar.

Sergeant Helus was taken to a local hospital where he died from his wounds. Eleven citizens were also shot and killed in the incident, and numerous others were wounded

The suspect was later found dead inside the bar.

Sergeant Helus served with the Ventura County Sheriff's Office for 29 years. He is survived by his wife and son.

Godspeed my brother, you now Rest among many heroes.

Please do not turn this remembrance post into anything political, thank you.

RIP to all victims.

This hit way too close to home. I went to HS with the shooter. Unbelievable.

I read that he was speaking with his wife on the telephone when he got this call. Told her he loved her and would see her when he got home. Heartbreaking.

When my wife, who's still a working police officer, leaves for work; I watch her car all the way down the driveway and onto the main road.

Because you never know.

All too familiar situation - and sad for all the families...

What makes the Sgt.’s passing so poignant is that he ran towards the source of the shots. He put himself into the line of fire thus distracting the perpetrator. This, in my mind, saved some lives while endangering his own.

Godspeed...

Very said, I know people who know two employees of the bar, fortunately they are OK physically.

Condolences to the families of the fallen.

Incredible bravery on his part. RIP sir.
