Community 'Harford County Strong' In Wake Of Deputy Slayings

ABINGDON, Md. (WJZ) -- A community continues to heal as they support the families of two Harford County Sheriff's deputies killed in the line of duty.

Marcus Washington reports volunteers were helping remember the lives of deputies Patrick Dailey and Mark Logsdon.

The deaths of two Harford County Sheriff's deputies touched an entire community. Nearly three weeks after deputies Mark Logsdon and Patrick Dailey were killed in the line of duty by David Brian Evans on February 10, the community continues to do its part to remember their lives and the sacrifices they made.

"We are Harford Strong. We care about each other. We are from all over the county. We're from Jarrettsville, we're from Norrisville, we're from Abingdon, we're from Edgewood, we're from everywhere," said volunteer Jennifer Greene.

Since their deaths, the Support the Blue Merchandise managed by Dan McClure has raised $20,000.

"We have hooded sweatshirts here and they go from huge sizes to 5XL," McClure said.

That money goes to the families of Dailey and Logsdon.

"It really helps them out. I think they feel all the love and support of the community. Harford County is just a very special place," McClure said.

With the help of volunteers and donated building space, Support the Blue Merchandise has a new location in Abingdon near the Panera Bread where Dailey lost his life.

"People are coming in here just to talk; they are coming in here to get stuff but they are coming in here to celebrate the lives of these two [deputies]," McClure said.

This all started as a one weekend event but has now lasted nearly two weeks.

"So everyone is coming together and coming as one and supporting these two families," McClure said. "It's just incredible to see. Very touching."

Even with the new location, donations and sales will continue at Looney's Pub in Bel Air.
