Deputy Inman was shot and killed when he interrupted a robbery in progress at a local convenience store. Deputy Inman had stopped at the store while on patrol but was unaware that it was being robbed. When the suspect saw the patrol car he ran out of the store and opened fire with a .22 caliber handgun. One of the rounds bounced off of the windshield of the car and struck Deputy Inman in the collar bone and heart.

Jerry Inman was my best friend, we went to school together and was very close. I found out about the shooting as I was returning home after a night of fishing, from my truck radio. Needless to say it shook me to the core. Jerry was in every way a gentleman, and a very close friend. I still miss him to this very day (07/15/09. Another Friend Bill Oliver, who spent time on the Green County Sherrifs Dept. His Grandfather Tony Oliver was killed in a shootout west of Springfield. My heart goes out to every family who has had a family member killed in action. AS well as our troops also.
