Freddie Floyd House was a 36-year-old lieutenant with the Utah Department of Corrections when he was killed on January 28, 1988, during a tactical raid in Marion, Utah. House led the prison’s canine unit, SWAT team, and fugitive apprehension squad and was part of the team sent to end a 13-day standoff after a man had used 87 sticks of dynamite to destroy a local LDS Ward House and then barricaded himself with family members in a home.

During the raid House released his canine to assist in apprehending the armed occupants. A single .30-caliber steel-jacketed round fired from a Plainfield carbine by one of the people inside struck House and proved instantly fatal. The shooter was taken into custody, was later convicted of manslaughter, and faced federal weapons charges; he was paroled on October 10, 2006. House left a wife and three children.

Does anyone have memories of the Marion standoff or information about Lieutenant House that could add to the record?
