Summary: |
Deputy Sheriff Dwight Maness succumbed to gunshot wounds sustained 11 months earlier after being ambushed while investigating a domestic disturbance at a home in Holiday Hills.
He and two other deputies had gone to the home in the 1300 block of Northeast Shore Drive after a friend of the subject's wife called to request a welfare check. The subject answered the door and stated he did not need any assistance. He invited the deputies into the home and then immediately opened fire on them with an AR-15 rifle.
Deputy Maness and one of the other deputies were both shot multiple times as they retreated for cover. The third deputy returned fire as an Island Lake Police Department officer pulled Deputy Maness to safety. The subject chased the retreating officers and continued to fire upon them. After firing 17 rounds, he fled on foot.
The subject who shot the deputies was arrested several hours later.
