At Rest

Suicide
At 10:12 p.m., dispatch received a 911 call indicating a man in Kellerton, Iowa, who allegedly had displayed a gun in a threatening manner. Deputies located Chance Newton and attempted to make a traffic stop. Officers pursued Chance Newton at high speeds. During the pursuit, Newton allegedly shot at a pursuing deputy's other, striking the other. The pursuit ended when Chance Newton was killed by a self-inflicted gunshot wound while driving through the town. His other then left the roadway and struck a tree.
This record exists so that Chance Newton, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
