He had been with the department's motorcycle unit for little over a month. This was his second assignment; he also was part of the motorcade for Sen. Barack Obama when he brought his campaign to Dallas earlier this week.

After learning of the accident following her Oak Cliff rally, Sen. Clinton offered her condolences to the victim's family and to the Dallas Police Department, calling it a "tragic, tragic loss."

Senior Cpl. Victor Lozada "We are just heartsick over this loss of life in the line of duty," she said. "This reminds us once again of what our men and women in law enfocement do every single day, and it is imprtant that we respect and appreciate their service. I certainly am grateful for all they do for me, and — more importantly — what they do for the citizens of Dallas."

A somber candidate moved to her next scheduled event in downtown Worth at 11:15 a.m., and spoke briefly to supporters about what had happened in Dallas. Clinton left the rally without delivering a stump speech, and said she was going back to Dallas to the hospital where the officer died.
