U.S. Census Bureau Security Officer killed

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.
