At Rest

Deadly force
Gallatin County Deputy Edwin Caldwell responded to a domestic disturbance call about an intoxicated man in a trailer home along Rt. 16. After talking to the man, Gary Burdine, he was returning to his car, only to find Burdine following behind him with a gun. Burdine allegedly pointed his gun at Caldwell and said he was going to shoot the officer. The officer shot Burdine four times killing him. On August 11 the County Grand Jury found the shooting justified.
This record exists so that Gary Burdine, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
