Clark, the Stueben County Sheriff’s Office and the Corning Police Department responded at 3:30 a.m. to a call about a suicidal man barricaded at a residence at 10041 Welch Road. Responding officers had put up a cordon around the house. When Clark was hit by gunfire, a deputy sheriff put his own life in danger to pull him to safety.

Clark was from Troupsburg, NY. A graduate of Alfred University, he was an outstanding athlete, winning state wrestling championships in high school, playing college football and trying out for the Buffalo Bills.

He graduated from the 203rd session of the Basic School on Sept. 3, 2015, and was originally assigned to Ithaca and Auburn before receiving his last assignment at Bath. He is survived by his mother, father and brother.
