Scott was a member of the Baldwin County Sheriff's Office. He had 15 years of service and had previously served with the Prichard Police Department.
Scott and two other deputies responded to a domestic disturbance call shortly after 4:00 pm.
The deputies were questioning a male subject on the home's front porch when the man suddenly produced a handgun and opened fire. Deputy Ward and one other deputy were shot before the subject was killed by return fire.

All three deputies were wearing their vests. Both wounded deputies were flown to the University of South Alabama Medical Center in critical condition. Deputy Ward succumbed to his wounds.
Scott was a member of the U.S. Coast Guard Reserve.
Friends describe Scott as a good family man who cared deeply for the community he patrolled.
Scott is survived by many loving friends and relatives including his wife.
Pray for all who die in the line of duty.
Thank you for your service, Scott.
Let us pray that Scott Ward is in heaven. Let us pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen.
