Christopher Close Chris Northcliffe, 51, was fatally wounded on August 13, 2012, in College Station, Texas, during a prolonged shootout that began when officers went to serve a legal notice. The confrontation started after Brazos County Constable Brian Bachmann attempted to serve a notice to Thomas Alton Caffall III, who opened fire and fatally wounded the constable, then took the constable’s .40-caliber SIG Sauer P226 pistol.

Additional officers engaged Caffall in an exchange of gunfire that lasted about thirty minutes. Northcliffe was shot during that firefight and later died after emergency medical responders were forced to pull back because of continuing gunfire. Caffall was also fatally wounded. Investigators later found multiple rifles in Caffall’s home, including a Vz 58 Tactical Sporter, a Mosin–Nagant M91/30 with a bayonet, and a PSL with a scope. A memorial service remembered Northcliffe as a kind and creative spirit.

Did anyone in the area see events unfold that day or have information about Northcliffe’s movements during the incident?
