Running in Honor of Officer Brian Gregg This event is being held in memory of Officer Brian Gregg, a dedicated member of the Newtown Borough Police Department who tragically lost his life in the line of duty on September 29, 2005. Officer Gregg had just begun serving full-time when he was fatally shot while on duty in the emergency department at St. Mary Medical Center. Born in Bristol and raised in Levittown, Officer Gregg was a graduate of Bucks County Community College and Ferris State University. Before joining the force, he owned a contracting business and later pursued his passion for public service through law enforcement. He was known for his courage, compassion, and commitment to protecting his community. Brian left behind his loving wife, Kella Ann Kneubuehl Gregg, and was the devoted father of Kyle Gregg. This year marks 20 years since his passing, a solemn milestone that reminds us not only of his sacrifice but of the enduring legacy he left behind.
