Carjacking victim attacked with screwdriver says St. Louis deputy charged with murder saved his life

A St. Louis deputy indicted for murder receives a positive testimony of good will from carjacking victim who says the officer saved his life.

Earlier this week, James Buchanan was indicted for second-degree murder and armed criminal action for shooting and killing the suspected carjacker, William Burgess back in July 2020.

The 67-year-old victim, Burgett, and his grandson were at a Mcdonald's drive-thru in St. Louis when Burgess approached the vehicle and attempted to stab Burgett through the window with a screwdriver.
