Widow Of Slain Sacramento County Sheriff's Deputy Will Attend State Of The Union Address

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — The widow of a Sacramento County Sheriff's Deputy killed last fall in a violent rampage will attend the State of the Union address on Tuesday.

Rep. Ami Bera invited Susan Oliver to attend the president's address. Her husband Danny Oliver was shot and killed in a crime spree that also claimed the life of Placer County Sheriff's Det. Michael Davis Jr.

Investigators say the violence began when Oliver approached a suspicious vehicle at a Motel 6 on Arden Way. A suspect inside opened fire, killing Oliver at the scene. The suspects would flee, leading to an hours-long manhunt between two counties that would also claim the life of Davis.
