How they died

Deadly force

Lipscombe's mother called police to report that he was armed and behaving erratically. DPS arrived, learning over the phone that Buchanan, a Coast Guard veteran, feared a terrorist attack in the vicinity. An active layman in the Episcopal Church, he calmed down after a private prayer service. Troopers confronted him an unknown amount of time later and fatally shot him. According to Wee-Corley-Fish Funeral Home, Lipscombe's family asked for donations to PTSD-related research instead of flowers for his grave.
