Add to My HeroesW. H. Lucy
Deputy Sheriff W.H. Lucy was shot and killed 10 miles east of Memphis by a man whom he and two other deputies were attempting to arrest on a charge of larceny.
After having the warrant read to him, the suspect asked permission to get his hat from his cabin. Not suspecting trouble, the officers consented. The suspect reappeared with a single-barrel shotgun, shot Deputy Lucy in the head, and then attacked the other deputies using the shotgun as a club. Both deputies emptied their revolvers, killing the suspect.
