Off-duty St. Louis County sheriff's deputy Chris Day shot John C. Jamison when he and two others allegedly tried to rob Day at gunpoint. Day was returning home at about 3 a.m. and had just parked his car when the trio approached him. According to Day, Jamison showed a small pistol and demanded money. Day reached into his pocket, pulled out his .38-caliber revolver and fired twice, killing Jamison. The accomplices reportedly fled. Day had been involved in another off-duty fatal shooting in February 1977, when he was a SLMPD patrolman.
