How they died
Less-than-lethal force
The bodies of Donin E. Wright and Janet Clark were found in the rubble of their burned-out home following an attack on first-responders. Wright had been in a dispute with the city about code violations, and had failed to show up for the hearing that morning. Clark had reportedly told a neighbor Wright wasn't going to court, saying "We've made other plans." At around 3:30 p.m., the first report about the fire came in. Paramedics, firefighters and police came under gunfire coming from the house across the street from Wright's residence (he owned both properties). Police formed a perimeter before propane tanks inside the house blew up, followed by another large explosion.
