Jason Franco was deer hunting with his family when he was shot near Havens and Lott roads in Wantage, around 12:30 p.m., and later pronounced dead, state police, sources and local officials told Daily Voice.
Hamburg police Lt. Jason Tangorra, who hired Franco in April 2018, remembered him as a dutiful officer.
"Jason Franco was loved by his family and his colleagues from all surrounding agencies," Tangorra said. "This was a complete tragedy and he will be missed."
Franco worked as an officer with the William Paterson University Police Department before he was in Hamburg.
