Deputy Sheriff Roger Wayne Fulford

I was just eight years old when this terrible incident happened. My grandparents lived just six doors down from where the shooting began. I recalled my father and mother talking about the US Marines sent down to assist in ending the conflict. My grandparents that lived just a few doors from the incidents, so they drove to Reelsboro which is located in the county to get away from the bullets travelling pass their residents.

I worked with Sheriff Leland Brinson in1983, who became High Sheriff after Robert Whorton
