Tuesday night, the Alaska State Troopers shared the following tribute to Worland on their Facebook page:

“We are profoundly saddened to inform that Court Services Officer Curtis Worland sadly lost his life earlier today while defending himself against a muskox attack near Nome. Near his dog kennel at home, CSO Worland was trying to haze a herd of muskox when he was attacked and killed by one of the animals. CSO Worland served the public with honor while wearing the court services officer uniform.

Muskoxen are described as stocky, long-haired creatures with small shoulder humps and horns by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. They can weigh as much as 800 lbs (363 kilograms).

The attack is being looked into by the state Department of Fish and Game, Alaska Wildlife Troopers, and Alaska State Troopers.
