A man was shot and the armed gunman was inside a home. The wife rammed a vehicle into the home. Myers drove a squad car to the door, gave cover and got the woman out of the home.
The medal is the agency’s highest honor for heroic action. Myers is only the eighth trooper in Highway Patrol history to receive the service medal.
