Johnson City Police Officer David Wayne Smith Jr., 43, was shot and killed while responding to a disturbance call at Southern Tier Imaging on Harrison Street in the early morning of March 31, 2014. Dispatch sent Smith shortly after 7 a.m. after reports that a 43-year-old MRI technician, James Clark, had arrived at work claiming there was a bomb and was preventing colleagues from entering.

A second officer arrived and was fired upon; that officer returned fire and struck Clark multiple times. Smith was taken to Wilson Medical Center and died of his injuries; Clark was transported and later pronounced dead. Investigators searched Clark’s vehicle and home but did not determine a clear motive, and no explosive devices were found.

Officer Smith was remembered for his sense of humor, outgoing personality and long service. Does anyone have information about Smith, Clark, or the events at Southern Tier Imaging that morning?
