Deptford Police Officer Robert Shisler dies from injuries sustained in line-of-duty shooting
Deptford Township Police Officer Bobby Shisler died months after he was shot in the line of duty in March, the department announced.
His sister, Ashley Shisler, choked back tears as she spoke to the crowd, "Everyone deserves to know…everyone deserves to know how incredible he was. We’re thankful you’re all here to embrace his life with us."
Officer Shisler died in May of 2023 nearly two months after he was critically injured in a pedestrian stop turned shooting. The suspect in that incident was also killed.
