Ron Helus

“There’s no doubt that him going in, the highway patrol officer going in, helped neutralize whatever threat was going on,” Ventura County Sheriff Geoff Dean told. The sheriff said Helus was a 29-year veteran of the sheriff’s office. Over the years, Sergeant Helus worked in various departments within the agency, including narcotics and SWAT.

 Ian David Long, 28, a Marine Corps veteran walked into the Borderline Bar & Grill in Thousand Oaks and began opening fire, initially targeting a security guard. Witnesses say he was dressed in black and and used at least one smoke bomb during the incident.

Long fired multiple rounds from a Glock 21 – .45 caliber, killing 11 people before being engaged by Sgt. Ron Helus. It was unclear if the suspect killed himself or was taken down by Sgt. Helus.
