THOUSAND OAKS, CA – Ventura County Sheriff's Sergeant Ron Helus, a 29-year veteran of the force, was one of 12 people who were killed during the mass shooting on November. 7, 2018 in a Thousand Oaks bar and grill.

The Ventura County District Attorney's Office has released the final report on the event, and it shows that not only was Sergeant Helus a true hero, but that he went down shooting.

Sergeant Helus, the District Attorney's report indicates, was shot five times by the gunman at the bar, and once from outside the bar by a fellow officer who was returning fire against the gunman.  Helus tripped and fell as he was exiting the business, still returning fire.

That fateful night at the Borderline Bar & Grill, 54-year-old Ron Helus was among the first law enforcement officers to arrive at the scene.

Geoff Dean, Ventura County then-Sheriff said of Sergeant Helus:

"When he heard gunfire, he went in and that's something [we] would expect from Ron."

The report from the Ventura County District Attorney's Office also vindicated the officers on scene, stating that Sergeant Helus and the other law enforcement officers who returned fire during the attack were justified in doing so.

From the transcript of the District Attorney's report, as reported by ABC 7 Los Angeles, details were explained:

"Sergeant Helus entered the dark, smoky bar and exchanged gunfire with the shooter, Ian David Long.

"The sergeant was trying to move back toward the door amid the chaos, when his feet became tangled in a rope.

"He (Helus) fell to the ground and was rising back to his feet just outside the front door as California Highway Patrol (CHP) Officer Todd Barrett was returning fire at Long from outside the bar.

"Long, who was still inside the building, shot Sergeant Helus five times during the mayhem."

The medical examiner later determined that the sergeant was killed by a sixth round as a result of friendly fire.  The bullet, which was fired by California Highway Patrol Officer Barrett, pierced Sergeant Helus' heart.  Prosecutors determined Officer Barrett's shooting of Sergeant Helus was an accident, and he will not face criminal charges.

Quoting again from the report:

"In an extraordinary act of heroism due to the active threat Long posed, Sergeant Helus and Officer Barrett entered the Borderline without knowledge of where Long was located, which afforded Long a substantial tactical advantage.

"Long, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, had taken a tactical position inside the bar and was waiting for law enforcement to walk around the corner."

Describing Sergeant Helus, the report further indicated:

"It is a testament to his training, character, and valor that even though he had been shot in the heart, he found the strength and determination to continue to protect others and fight to the end."

Sheriff Geoff Dean said in a statement to ABC 7 Los Angeles:

"It's so tragic losing Ron.  We go to the gym together, work out together. It's horrific and terrible and it saddens our hearts."

The married father-of-one had given nearly three decades of his life to his department, and planned to retire in about a year.
