How they died
Deadly force
Officers responded to a report of shots fired outside the Stewart County Courthouse in Lumpkin, a town of about 1,300 people. Lumpkin Police Chief Jay Stripling and Stewart County Deputy Clinton Rivers were both shot in the face. The shooter then fled the scene. A few hours later, after more than 50 officers and a police helicopter swarmed the area, officers confronted Marcus Dewayne Dalton and his hostages a few blocks from the courthouse. One of the men, identified as Mr. Dalton, fired at officers with a 9mm pistol. He was shot and killed.
