Family, friends remember Arkansas detention officer following fatal shooting

PERRY COUNTY, Ark. — The Perry County community is simply heartbroken following the fatal shooting of one of their own.

"I really didn't think it was true," said Beverly Ussery.

Her kids went to school with 21-year-old Jeremiah Story, who was the victim of the shooting that happened at the Perry County Jail, where he worked as a detention officer.

According to Arkansas State Police, the gun reportedly used by Lewis was one he possessed when he arrived at the jail while in the custody of local sheriff’s deputies.
