Suicide
Dispatch received a phone call around 8 p.m. about a man driving around while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, carrying a rifle and making threats toward others. Deputies said that they spotted James Randall McKendree around 9:50 p.m. and attempted to stop the other. McKendree, armed with an assault rifle, ditched his other on Dees Lane. McKendree entered into a wooded area before getting into an altercation with a resident that led to shots being exchanged. McKendree was found dead by dogs from a gunshot wound to the head. No deputies fired their weapons. At this time, police believe McKendree was killed by the resident he exchanged fire with.
This record exists so that James Randall McKendree, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
