At Rest

Deadly force
Walton County 911 received multiple calls shortly before 9 a.m. about a man who was coming from under the U.S. 78 bridge with a gun. Two officers arrived to find a man dressed in a shower curtain and carrying what looked to be a machine gun. He was ordered to drop the item and was shot and killed when he reportedly pointed it at the officers. Mahlon Summerour was carrying a replica Thompson submachine gun.
This record exists so that Mahlon Edward Summerour, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
