At Rest

Deadly force
Between noon and 8:19 p.m., several callers reported Jason Paul O'Bannon was shooting a gun in a yard. When they arrived, deputies saw a man shooting in his yard, and people apparently hiding. O'Bannon allegedly fired several shots and pointed a Winchester .30-30 rifle at Nye County Sheriff's Office Deputy Wesley Fancher. At 9:23 p.m., Fancher, 34, fired four times, killing O'Bannon.
This record exists so that Jason Paul O’Bannon, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
