Lordsburg held as many as 1,500 Japanese Americans in a [[Japanese American internment]] camp operated by the U.S. Army during World War II. On July 27, 1942, shortly after the Lordsburg Internment Camp was opened, Private First Class Clarence Burleson, a sentry at the facility, allegedly shot two Japanese American internees under questionable circumstances. One of the victims, Hirota Isomura, apparently died instantly. The other, Toshiro Kobata, died before dawn. After a military investigation and [[court-martial]], Burleson was found to have lawfully killed the two men. The camp operated until July 1943.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.nps.gov/archive/manz/ccdoj.htm|title=Department of Justice and U.S. Army Facilities}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.manymountains.org/lordsburg/|title=Lordsburg Revisited: A Closer Look at the Lordsburg Court-martial|website=www.manymountains.org}}</ref> The incident inspired an episode of the new [[Hawaii Five-0 (2010 TV series)|''Hawaii 5-0'']] series, "Ho'oani Makuakane", Episode 4/9 (original air date December 13, 2013).
