On January 17, 2016, Officer Douglas Doug Scott Barney, 44, was shot and killed while on duty in Holladay, Utah. Barney, an 18-year law enforcement veteran working overtime to help pay for cancer treatments, had responded to a traffic collision near 4500 South and 2300 East. As he approached a man and woman walking from the scene, the man, identified as 31-year-old Cory Lee Henderson, produced a handgun and shot Barney in the head; the wound proved fatal. Barney was a husband and father of three and is remembered for a boisterous manner and an ability to de-escalate with humor. His death was the Unified Police Department’s first line-of-duty fatality since its 2010 formation.

Officers mounted a large response to find the shooter. Henderson, who had an extensive criminal history and had recently walked away from a state parolee drug treatment center, was located shortly afterward. A shootout ensued in which Officer Jon Richey was wounded and Henderson was killed. The female who had been with Henderson fled initially, was later found and interviewed, and was not charged. Does anyone have information about Barney’s final shift or about the incident near 4500 South and 2300 East?
