Steven Boyd Norton, 47, was fatally shot by Kerrville police on August 16, 2015, at his home on Linda Joy Street after officers responded to a domestic violence call. Norton, who owned a local pest-control firm, was reported to have assaulted his wife and daughter and then armed himself with a rifle. His wife, Jennifer Norton, and their daughter left the home before officers arrived.

Officers attempted to make contact with Norton but could not establish communication. Norton emerged from the house and fired in the direction of officers; four officers returned fire. Three officers discharged a total of 12 rounds. Norton was struck once in the lower back and later died at a hospital in San Antonio. The officers involved were Sgt. Jonathan Lamb and officers Roy Alonzo, Daniel Haas, and Stephen Wherry. A grand jury found the use of deadly force justified, and investigators were unable to identify which officer fired the fatal shot because the bullet had disintegrated.

Jennifer Norton called the shooting an anomaly in their eight-year marriage and said she believed the police acted appropriately. Does anyone have information about Norton’s life in Kerrville or additional details about the night of August 16, 2015?
