At Rest

Deadly force
At approximately 7:01 p.m., dispatch took a report of an alleged assault taking place at the Leisure Manor in Thompson. Deputies responded to the call. Deputy Josh Douglas encountered James Anderson, who was a resident at the address. Anderson was armed with a 9 millimeter handgun. Anderson said the 911 call was a ruse and that there was no assault at the address. Anderson reportedly was despondent over a recent medical diagnosis. Anderson allegedly pointed his weapon in the direction of officers, one of whom shot and killed him.
This record exists so that James Anderson, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
