At Rest

Deadly force
Knox County sheriff's deputies Keith Liford and Claude Hudson were attempting to serve a warrant on John W. Bays, 50. Deputies located Bays inside a residence. Bays began shooting at both deputies. Deputy Liford was shot multiple times, and Deputy Hudson shot once, and they shot and killed Bays.
This record exists so that John Wesley Bays, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
