Sgt. Frederick Davidson was shot on July 11, 1937 and died on July 20 that year
In 2020, the bridge over Wanup Pit Road was named in Davidson’s honour.
Davdison, 36, was shot twice in the head and four times in the back, but amazingly he didn’t succumb immediately to his injuries. The other man, Tom Ponomanenko, was wounded. After his murder conviction, Ponomanenko was hanged in Sudbury on Jan. 22, 1938.During the 2020 bridge dedication, GSPS Chief Paul Pedersen said Davidson’s death is a “stark reminder” of the uncertainty officer’s face.
"In light of that risk, it also serves to underline the unrelenting commitment to community safety and well-being that also extends to their families, to their support systems, that every day sees our people go off to work and every day hopes that our people come home."
