Bobby R. Anderson

How they died

Deadly force

A US Marshal shot and killed Bobby R. Anderson, who was allegedly armed and threatened officers as they attempted to arrest him. Members of a US Marshals Violent Offender Task Force were trying to serve Anderson around 3 p.m. with warrants charging him with two counts of attempted second-degree murder, burglary, two counts of forgery, unauthorized use of a motor other and misrepresentation during booking. The warrants were from both Alexandria police and the Rapides Parish Sheriff's Office, both of which had members on the task force. A preliminary report said officers located Anderson at the Save More convenience store where, according to a news release, "Anderson was reportedly armed and threatened officers as they were attempting to take him into custody, resulting in a Task Force Member discharging his duty weapon, striking Anderson... Crime scene personnel did collect a firearm believed to be possessed by Anderson at the time of the shooting."
