David Buckley, 53, was found fatally shot inside his home at 1313 W. Atkinson in Pittsburg, Kansas, on the evening of Sunday, April 5, 2020. Shortly before 10 p.m. the Crawford County Sheriff’s Office received a 911 call from 29-year-old Michael J. Woodson, who said he had just shot his father. Officers discovered Buckley deceased from a gunshot wound and arrested Woodson at the scene without incident.

Woodson was booked into the Crawford County Jail on suspicion of first-degree murder. The Crawford County Sheriff’s Office, the Pittsburg Police Department, and the Kansas Highway Patrol cooperated on the investigation. Reports at the scene identified Buckley and his son as the only two people in the house when the shooting occurred; investigators were still examining motive and circumstances in the days after the incident.

Does anyone have information about David Buckley, his activities in Pittsburg, or what might have led to that night’s fatal confrontation?
