Matthew Fishman Death Details
Wayne County Deputy Killed In Shootout. “Monday carried tragic circumstances for many in Wayne County as the man accused of shooting three deputies was also found dead nine hours later. The deputies were shot while serving an involuntary commitment order, meaning someone thought the suspect was a danger to himself and needed help, at a home in the 2500 block of Arrington Bridge Road in Dudley. Heavily armed officers from the State Highway Patrol, WCSO and surrounding agencies surrounded the home for over nine hours. 23-year-old Jourdan Hamilton was found inside the home with an apparent fatal self-inflicted gunshot wound after SWAT members entered the residence.” [WRAL]
