Dorn, prior to working security at the pawn shop, had been a police captain with the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department and a police chief in nearby Moline Acres. He retired in 2014, ending a police career that spanned more than 40 years, Powell says. St. Louis officials said Tuesday Dorn was killed responding to a burglar alarm that looters set off. “David Dorn was exercising law enforcement training that he learned here,” St Louis Police Chief John Hayden said. The Ethical Society of Police, a St. Louis black officers fraternal organization, mourned Dorn in a tweet as "the type of brother that would've given his life to save them if he had to."
