Heacock was injured early Sunday morning while responding to a call about a fight in progress at one of the homes located in the Yorkshire Estates Community, according to a media release from the Delaware State Police.
A 911 caller had reported that a man, identified by authorities as 30-year-old Randon Wilkerson, was "being disorderly" and "destroying items inside the residence," police said.
A separate 911 call came in moments later from a neighbor of the initial caller, reporting that he and his wife had been attacked and their assailant was no longer in their home, according to authorities.
Heacock was dispatched to the scene around 5:12 a.m. local time, police said, and was allegedly "met with physical confrontation with Wilkerson" while responding to the house of the first 911 call.
Officials said Heacock was found unconscious inside the home by additional officers responding to the call.
Heacock was then rushed to TidalHealth in Salisbury, before being transferred to R. Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore with "significant head injuries," according to state police.
