Summary: Inspector William Payne was shot and killed at approximately 7:00 pm in the Rosslyn area of Alexandria County (modern day Arlington County) while attempting to arrest a man for possessing whiskey. The man refused to get into the car to go to jail and a struggle ensued. The suspect produced a pistol and shot Inspector Payne in the eye. Another inspector attempted to drive Inspector Payne to Georgetown Hospital but he succumbed to his wound within several minutes of the shooting. The suspect was apprehended the following day.
