Rod Tucker was in the same squad as Roger DeMarco and was a member of Wooley's SWAT Team during the undead apocalypse.
Biography[]
Prior to the zombie outbreak, Rod Tucker was the youngest member of the SWAT team and was a brief friend of Roger DeMarco. In the third week of the outbreak, Wooley's team was set along with another SWAT team (that included Peter Washington) and the United States National Guard to attack and raid an apartment building where the tenants refused to turn over their dead for disposal. Before the attack Roger mimicked the Commander's words to Tucker. Wooley was showing signs of extreme aggression and mental instability, using racial slurs to describe the apartment's tenants and threatening to kill them all, with Roger and Tucker paying no attention. Tucker introduced himself to Roger and insuring he will survive the attack. Unfortunately, prior to the start of the crossfire, Tucker was shot in the head becoming the first SWAT member to die in Wooley's unit. Tucker's death gravely affected Roger and possibly became a factor in Roger's decreasing sanity later on.
Notes[]
