A Delaware police officer was found unconscious and is now in the hospital with serious injuries after being assaulted at the scene of a reported fight. Delmar police officer Cpl. Keith Heacook responded to a report of a fight around 5 a.m. on the 11000 block of Buckingham Drive in the Yorkshire Estates Community. It is unclear what happened at the residence, but Heacook was involved in a physical altercation. When he stopped responding to dispatch, a Wicomico County Sheriffs Office Deputy and a Delaware State Trooper went to check on the scene. They found Heacook unconscious in the home. He had suffered significant injuries and was taken to Shock Trauma in Baltimore, Maryland. A preliminary investigation revealed that an elderly couple across the street were assaulted and sustained significant injuries. That attack is related. Several people were taken in to custody. The Delaware State Police is investigating, along with the Delmar Police Department, Wicomico County Sheriff's Office, and Maryland State Police. Corporal Keith Heacook is a 22-year veteran. He has worked with Delmar Police since 1998.

"He is a husband, son, brother, and father," Delmar Police Department Chief Ivan Barkley said. "Keith is fighting for his life right now and he needs your prayers along with the elderly couple who were also injured. Members from the Delmar Police appreciate the outpouring of community support as we continue to move forward. We appreciate the support from the Delaware State Police, Wicomico County Sheriffs Office, Maryland State Police, and all other agencies who responded and are assisting with this investigation."
