Deputy Dwight Maness

By CHELSEA McDOUGALL cmcdougall@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Tales of bravery and heroics are now being revealed since the dust has settled after last week’s ambush in Holiday Hills that left two deputies recovering from gunshot wounds. McHenry County Sheriff Keith Nygren on Monday lauded the actions of quick-thinking police officers, who stepped into the line of

fire to save their fellow law enforcement officers. Island Lake officers Victoria Gwizdak and Gilbert Hueramo were the first to respond to Holiday Hills shortly after 1 a.m. Oct. 16. Two McHenry County Sheriff’s deputies responding to a domestic incident had just been gunned down on the front stoop of the home. Deputies Dwight Maness and Khalia Satkiewicz both sustained gunshot wounds,

and are recovering from their injuries. Nygren said Gwizdak and Hueramo pulled the deputies to safety as 52-year-old Scott B. Peters continued to fire upon the officers. McHenry County Sheriff’s Deputy Steven Nulle responded shortly after and helped pull Satkiewicz behind a tree to safety, Undersheriff Andrew Zinke said.
