CBS Interview With Murphy, Lenda To Air Next Week

The interview with officers widely considered heroes in the Aug. 5 shootings at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin was originally scheduled to air last week.

The CBS Evening News will broadcast its interview with Oak Creek police officers Brian Murphy and Sam Lenda on Monday, Nov. 12, the city said on its Facebook page.

A CBS reporter traveled to Oak Creek last month to interview the officers, widely considered heroes in the Aug. 5 Sikh temple shootings. Murphy was the first officer to encounter gunman Wade Michael Page and was shot 15 times, while Lenda fired the shots that sent Page to the ground.

The interview was originally scheduled to air last week but was bumped due to Hurricane Sandy.
