At Rest

Suicide
About 4:30 p.m., a deputy stopped a car on Kingsland Court in Fruit Cove. When the deputy approached the car, which was parked in a driveway, the man driving fired one shot. The deputy then fired one shot. The deputy was not hurt, and the man was killed. Police later said that Joshua Thornton shot and killed himself, and the deputy's bullet only caused a flesh wound.
This record exists so that Joshua Charles Thornton, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
