How they died
Suicide
Lieutenant Clay Medrano and Sergeant Chris Dotson went to Anderson's mobile home after a complaint that Anderson was again threatening a neighbor with a gun. Anderson, armed with a fully-automatic AK-47, fatally shot Lieutenant Medrano and wounded Sergeant Dotson's gun hand. Anderson drove to his parents' home, walked to a tree at the edge of a pasture and shot himself. Lieutenant Medrano had been a peace officer for 25 years.
