William Katzenstein had been preventing a crowd from looting the scene of a burning store when he went to remove the cap from a fire plug. There, he was fatally shot by a disgruntled man. A police officer as well as a member of the Tucson Fire Department at the time of his death, Katzenstein was a proud assistant engineer.
