CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. Few city council votes escape scrutiny and debate after the fact, but there may never be a council decision analyzed in the same way as Thursday's vote that prompted a man to take his life in front of the Clarksville City Council.
Ronald "Bo" Ward fatally shot himself in the head after he was denied a request to rezone his Madison Street home to commercial. Ward, owner of Bo's Barber Shop on Fort Campbell Boulevard, had said the rezoning would increase his property value, allowing him to secure a loan to offset debt he incurred when he expanded his shop.
