Steven Hopwood

Deadly force

Steven Hopwood showed up at a salon where he had a protection order against him, which was intended to keep him away. A Marshall County Sheriff's deputy responded and exchanged gunfire with Hopwood inside the business. Additional deputies arrived and that Hopwood shot at them as well, although they did not return fire. Following these exchanges, Niland said, police entered the business and found Hopwood dead and hostages in a separate room.
