Nicholas Benjamin Salisbury

How they died

Deadly force

Nicholas Salisbury called 911 at about 1:30 a.m. and told dispatchers he was planning to kill residents at an Auburn in-patient rehab facility and also threatened to shoot any deputies who arrived there, police said. He told the dispatcher he was high on marijuana and "speed." The man was holding a firearm when deputies found him. Deputies reportedly ordered him to drop the gun, but he raised it toward the deputies, and they shot and killed him. The weapon was a replica firearm, and Salisbury allegedly had a suicide note.
