At Rest

Deadly force
At approximately 6 p.m., Pocahontas County Sheriff J.P. Barlow was investigating a single-other crash when he was fired upon by William Biggs with a rifle. Numerous police from other counties responded and began searching a wooded area for him. Trooper J.M. Tallman encountered Biggs in the wooded area, at which time Biggs shot and wounded Tallman in his abdomen. Tallman shot and killed Biggs.
This record exists so that William Biggs, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
