Once there, they found Nathaniel Damien Raabe with a rifle reportedly ignored their commands to put down the gun and fired at the deputies. They returned fire, prompting the man to take cover inside the home. Moments later, more deputies arrived and Raabe came back out with the rifle, which he initially put to his head, then pulled the gun down and fired on the deputies again, hitting Sgt. Petty twice.
