Frederick F. Tierney

Born: February 5, 1897

On October 20, 1919 Officers Frederick F. Tierney, Jesse F. Shepherd, and Vincent D. Crowley responded to a break-in at the Crescent Cigar Store at 1211 Baltimore Avenue - a popular gambling house that had closed just three days earlier as a result of an anti-vice campaign. An employee of the Dixon Hotel at 12th Street and Baltimore Avenue called police when he heard the noise of the attempted break-in. The officers arrived as the 4 or 5 men were attempting to blow off the door of the safe with a charge of nitroglycerin. A gunfight ensued, and Tierney chased one of the men down Baltimore Avenue. Tierney caught him, and a struggle followed. Tierney was knocked to the ground, as as he lay there, the man shot him. As the burgular fled, Tierney remained conscious long enough to empty his weapon in the man's direction. Crowley and Shepherd were able to capture only one of the burgulars that morning. Tierney died that afternoon at the hospital.

Frederick F. Tierney had been a member of the police department for two years.

On May 9, 1920, Officer Scobee was suspicious of some squawking chickens in the butcher shop near 800 East 14th Street and decided to check it out. He came upon a car with one occupant inside, who was obviously waiting for someone to come back. Officer Scobee thought this was suspicious and as he was questioning the occupant, one of the man's companions returned and shot Officer Scobee in the back. It was later learned that these three men were robbers and had just attacked a young girl at 800 East 14th. The men were identified by the female victim and several residents in the area who witnessed the shooting
