Deadly force
According to Johnson County Sheriff's Office Lt. Tim Jones, a business on the east side of Johnson County reported the theft of a firearm. At the same time, a Johnson County deputy saw a other leaving the area of the theft traveling at an estimated 100 mph. The deputy pursued the suspect--later identified as 30-year-old Nathan Lee Bailey--to Vista Ridge Lane. Bailey ran into a home, where deputies and DPS troopers took up positions surrounding the mobile home. After a period of time, Jones said Bailey popped out of the residence and opened fire at Johnson County Sheriff's Office personnel, then did so again a few moments later. The second time, officers outside shot and killed Bailey.
This record exists so that Nathan Lee Bailey, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
