The Arizona Department of Public Safety has lost its first officer in the line of duty in eight years during a rescue of two hikers near Sedona.

Medic Officer Bruce Harrolle, 36, was helping rescue two hikers from Bell Rock Monday when he was struck and killed by a helicopter rotor blade.

Harrolle and a pilot were aboard the helicopter.

"While they were performing the rescue, they were able to get the male subject into the helicopter," said DPS Lt. James Warriner. "While trying to put the female into the helicopter, something happened that caused the paramedic to get struck by a rotor blade, resulting in his death."
