CHULA VISTA - It was a school dance that Amira will likely never forget.
In a heartwarming display of camaraderie, three San Diego Police officers stepped in Friday to take Amira De Guzman, daughter of the slain SDPD Officer Jonathan De Guzman, to a father-daughter dance at Heritage Elementary School.
Amira was accompanied by three members of De Guzman's unit.

De Guzman and his partner were attacked on July 28, 2016, after a gunman opened fire on them during a pedestrian stop in a residential area in Southcrest.
De Guzman was fatally shot while behind the wheel of his police cruiser. His partner, Officer Wade Irwin, was also seriously injured during the shooting. The gunman was critically wounded during an exchange of gunfire.
In a memorial service last August, De Guzman's family spoke lovingly of him.
