A community gathered Friday to say thank you to a man who gave his life protecting them.
Deputy Heath Gumm, 31, was shot and killed while responding to an assault call the night of Jan. 24. He was a beloved husband, friend, hockey player and protector of his community.
He was the second Colorado deputy to die in the line of duty in a month.
