Ventura County Sheriff s Sgt. Ron Helus, killed in the 2018 Borderline mass shooting, was posthumously presented the Congressional Badge of Bravery on Tuesday. This honor is reserved for only the most exceptional acts of bravery carried out in the line of duty, said Rep. Julia Brownley, D-Westlake Village, when presenting the award to Helus s widow, Karen, and son, Jordan, hugging both. There is no question that Sgt. Helus earned it.
Brownley and others said Helus actions the night of the shooting, which claimed 12 lives, saved the lives of many others.
The award was presented during a ceremony at the Healing Garden, which honors the victims and survivors of the shooting, at Conejo Creek North Park in Thousand Oaks.
