Corey Scott Shipton, 29, of Linesville, Pennsylvania, died after being shot during a domestic dispute on September 16–17, 2017. He was at a residence in the 5100 block of Wheeler Road in Conneaut Township when a disturbance involving Jessie Bacon, 35, of Linesville, led to Dustin Coffey, 27, of Fredonia, arriving to assist Bacon. An altercation followed in which Coffey fired a pistol; Corey was fatally wounded. Police recovered the pistol and a pellet rifle that Corey had at the scene.

The Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General reviewed the matter and concluded Coffey’s use of deadly force was justified; no criminal charges were filed. Corey was born August 2, 1988, in Coudersport, the son of Scott A. Shipton and Stephanie Welsh Shipton. He worked at Bucks Fabricating, attended Keystone High School, enjoyed hunting, fishing, and riding 4-wheelers and motorcycles, and was a regular at the First Baptist Church in Linesville. He is survived by his parents, brother Zachary Shipton and wife Marissa, nephews Mason and Logan, niece Zoey, and other family members.
