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.

It will be finalized in time for the start of school in August and distributed to all four Marin high school districts, which will be able to decide independently how or whether to use it.
According to a copy of the draft dated June 14 and provided to J., the lessons on anti-Jewish hate are framed through the definitions of antisemitism provided by the Anti-Defamation League and the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance. The 44-page curriculum devotes six pages to the topic in a section titled “Antisemitism and its Impact on Jewish Americans in the U.S.”
