Domanias “Nick” Stamatiadis
In a Facebook post, Craig McClure praised Officer Domanias “Nick” Stamatiadis, describing him as one of the finest officers he’s had the privilege of working with.
Officer Stamatiadis, a native of Greece who joined law enforcement later in life, is known for his good humor, friendly nature and dedication to community policing.
Tragically, he was shot today in connection with the ‘mass shooting’ incident involving a self-absorbed teenager.
While he recovers, it will take him some time to heal. McClure asks for prayers for Officer Stamatiadis, the injured Farmington police officer, the victims who lost their lives and their grieving families.
This is a developing story that will be updated when more information becomes available.
