Lawrence Buckner, 58, was fatally shot on the evening of April 9, 2015, while working as a security guard at the U.S. Census Bureau headquarters in Suitland, Maryland. An Army veteran with 20 years of security experience, Buckner was a married father and grandfather. His death followed a violent chain of events that began with a domestic dispute and an armed kidnapping in Washington, D.C.

The victim drove to the federal facility in Suitland seeking safety because armed guards were present; Anderson followed her onto the grounds. Buckner observed a struggle in a vehicle matching the kidnapping description, approached, and was shot by Anderson. Anderson fled, prompting a police chase into Washington, D.C., which ended in a crash and a shootout that wounded Anderson and a police officer. The kidnapping victim was found safe and Anderson was arrested and charged with multiple offenses, including murder and kidnapping.

Does anyone have additional information about Buckner’s life or was present at the scene and can share what happened that night?
