Lionel Sands

Deadly force

Lionel Sands and Daniel Brown prepared an invasion of the home of the local sheriff, down to disguises, bleach and latex gloves. They found the sheriff's wife, a civilian employee of the department, at home. She had time to alert her husband before being shot and killed. As responding officers advanced on the house another county deputy was shot and killed. The two suspects were then killed by gunfire. Their motive was unclear.
