On April 3, 1980, Patrolman Christopher M. Dunn, 27, was shot and killed during a duty call in Lyndon, Kentucky. Dunn, a White man with four years’ law enforcement service (two years in Anchorage and two with the Jefferson County Police Department), was wounded about 11:30 a.m. in the parking lot of the Lyndon Food Mart at 813 Lyndon Lane while he and a partner were securing a 23-year-old man.

A 15-year-old female companion of the arrestee produced a .357 caliber revolver from the man’s truck and fired, striking Dunn in the back. He was taken to a hospital and died of his injuries. The 15-year-old pleaded guilty to murder and received a life sentence; the 23-year-old was convicted of murder as an accomplice. Dunn was survived by his wife.

Did anyone in the community know Patrolman Dunn or remember the events at the Lyndon Food Mart that day?
