Scott Anderson Hutton, 36, was shot and killed on the evening of June 3, 2020, in Bryant, Arkansas. A newly appointed officer with the Alexander Police Department, Hutton had gone to the home of a fellow officer to pick up a patrol car at the start of his shift. Saline County deputies found him outside the residence with a gunshot wound; another Alexander officer was performing life-saving measures. Hutton was taken to a Little Rock hospital where he was pronounced dead.

The Arkansas State Police investigated and determined that fellow Alexander officer Calvin Salyers was holding a firearm when he responded to Hutton at the door; as Salyers opened the door the weapon discharged and the single round struck Hutton. Salyers was arrested and charged with manslaughter in connection with the shooting. Hutton had served two tours in the Army National Guard and had recently become a police officer; he is survived by his wife and other family members.

Does anyone have information about the circumstances at the door that evening or witnessed events at the Evergreen Drive residence?
