Born: July 6, 1919
On
June 28, 1948 Officers Floyd N. Montgomery
and Paul J. Warrington answered a disturbance
call at 1424 Forest Avenue shortly before
7am. Montgomery had just stepped out of
his car when he was fatally wounded, he
had time to fire his own weapon only once.
Warrington responded to the gunfire, and
was also wounded. He radioed for backup,
and when it arrived, they found the assailants
dead inside the house - an apparent murder-suicide.

Montgomery joined the Kansas City Police
Department on August 17, 1942, and left
in 1944 when he went to serve in World War
II in the Army. He was discharged in 1945
and then returned to the KCPD.
