Richard Sacchi

On March 21, 1996, tragedy struck the small town of Eastchester when a resident named Richard Sacchi shot his entire family, including his grandmother, with a submachinegun. When the police camped outside his home in Southern Eastchester, a 12-hour stand-off resulted in the death of Officer Michael Frey. The street parallel to the Eastchester Police Station was renamed Michael Frey Drive in his memory. A Westchester County ad campaign for civil responsibility still uses the phrase: "Thank a police officer in honor of Michael Frey."
