How they died
Deadly force
According to reports, Mercer County Deputy M.S. Horn responded to a 911 call from Jackie Spaulding's uncle saying his nephew had a rifle at Woodlawn Cemetery. State trooper JR Coburn was heading home from his post in McDowell County, and apparently arrived to assist Horn. Police said Spalding fled from the officers, then was found a short time later in a other on a service road behind the cemetery mausoleum. The officers approached, and Spaulding allegedly "moved in such a way as to turn toward the officers, slid his left hand near the trigger and bring the barrel down. Coburn fired his weapon, and Horn prepared to fire his." Coburn also shot and killed Stephen Knight in July 2012.
