SUITLAND, MD - A Security Officer working at the U.S. Census
Bureau was fatally shot by accused kidnapper Ronald Anderson before firing on
another person and leading police on a car chase before finally being gunned
down by police.
It is reported that Anderson rammed the Census Bureau gate
with his car and shot the Security Officer, Lawrence Buckner, at least once in
the chest.
The Officer approached Anderson’s car after he observed the
man arguing with someone, police said.
Bucker, a five year veteran at the Census Bureau and an
employee of Masters Security, passed away from his wounds.
Masters was not available for comment.
The kidnapped woman, who was found safe, was later
identified as Anderson’s wife.
Anderson is in police custody and is expected to survive to
stand trial for his actions. Anderson
was free on bail at the time of the attack for drug possession and assault in
another matter.
My heart felt condolences to the deceased Union Brother. The Local 100 Executive Board stands ready and available to assist the SPFPA in honoring Mr. Buckner.
