LENOIR CITY, Tenn. — A Tennessee soldier was tied up and shot to his death in his Lenoir City home last week, authorities said.

Specialist Jacob Bishop’s mother found her son dead last Tuesday morning. The 35-year-old had been physically bound and shot multiple times, according to investigators with the Loudon County Sheriff’s Office.

“We continue to work tirelessly and around the clock to bring the party, or parties, responsible for the murder of a U.S. soldier to justice, and to provide the Bishop family with some form of closure,” said Sheriff Tim Guider. “Jacob Bishop was a father of two, and one of our nation’s guardians.”

Bishop, 35, served in the Tennessee Army National Guard and had just returned from a year-long deployment in Poland. FULL STORY HERE
