How they died
Deadly force
A medical examiner's report said Mary Loflin had a history of suicide attempts and had been held for mental evaluation under Florida's Baker Act. According to WJHG, Loflin called a suicide hotline on Dec. 4, 2012, which called the authorities. A Washington County sheriff's deputy arrived about 12:30 p.m., and Loflin fired two rounds at him from her porch. Deputies from Washington County and Bay County then engaged in a two-hour standoff with Loflin and tried to convince her to surrender. The Bay County sheriff's SWAT team arrived, and one deputy fired a bean bag round at her but to no effect. Cpl. Ryan Robbins then fired one shot and Deputy Chad Vidrine several gunshots at loflin. She died 10 days later.
