Deputy Michael Andrew Norris, 24, was shot while on duty in the late afternoon of September 13, 2014, in Bolingbroke, Georgia. Norris and his partner, Deputy Jeff Wilson, had been dispatched to a Haley Lane residence after a report of an armed man attempting suicide. The man inside, identified as Christopher Keith Calmer, opened fire on the deputies on their arrival. Both officers were struck; Wilson survived and was later able to return fire and handcuff Calmer. Norris suffered a critical gunshot wound to the head and was pronounced brain dead on September 14, 2014. He was kept on life support for two more days to facilitate organ donation.

Calmer was treated for his wounds and taken into custody. Following a Georgia Bureau of Investigation inquiry, Calmer faced murder-related charges. If anyone knew Deputy Norris, his partner, or the events on Haley Lane that afternoon, any information could still be important to the record.
