Neil Newcomb

How they died

Deadly force

Newcomb died during a 14-hour standoff at his home that began when deputies following up on an earlier domestic disturbance report discovered that Newcomb had shot his son-in-law (he survived). Newcomb also shot his wife (she survived) and daughter (she was killed) at some point during the standoff. A deputy was also critically injured by a blast of buckshot during the first attempt to enter the house.
