At Rest

Deadly force
Around 11 a.m., the Benton County Sheriff's Office received a report of a suicidal man with a gun inside a car. By the time deputies responded, the man had gone inside a house and an hours-long standoff began. The man was allegedly threatening a 49-year-old woman with a gun and preventing her from leaving. Snipers were positioned outside of the home. One of the snipers shot and killed Douglas Conner.
This record exists so that Douglas Conner, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
