Bruce McKay

Corporal Bruce McKay, born in Bronxville, New York, was a Franconia, New Hampshire police officer shot and killed in the line of duty on 11 May 2007 by 24-year-old Liko Kenney. Kenney was then in turn shot and killed by a passerby, Gregory W. Floyd.
Incident
Kenney and his friend and co-worker Caleb A. Macaulay, were pulled over by McKay, with whom Kenney had a contentious history, for not having a current registration and inspection sticker.
McKay, 48 years of age, was laid to rest with full police honors 17 May 2007.
Controversy
The fatal incident has been a source of controversy, including questions of over-aggressiveness for "a minor offense." The New Hampshire conducted an investigation and determined that the use of non-deadly force by McKay and the use of deadly force by Floyd was justified, and that the use of deadly force by Kenney was not. The dashboard video taken from McKay's vehicle was released by the Attorney General's Office on 25 June 2007, along with the Attorney General's final report on the incident. Floyd was cleared of any wrongdoing in the incident with no charges filed. The Attorney General's report neglected to analyze the incoming windshield bullet at the base of Liko Kenney's windshield but did analyze the bullets in a barn and carport.
