How they died
Deadly force
Around 10 p.m. at the Tin Cup campground in Custer County, Russell Van Liddell reportedly confronted a group of 16 to 18 campers and claimed they were occupying his camping spot. One member of the group was an off-duty police officer, Bonners Ferry Police Chief Brian Zimmerman. Zimmerman armed himself with a handgun after hearing Liddell arguing with members of the group. During the argument, Liddell reached into the back of his truck, grabbed a handgun and racked it. He turned toward the group and fired two shots. Zimmerman shot Liddell five times, killing him.
