Anthony Coleman

Deadly force

Deputies responded to a call regarding a domestic dispute, and then met the wife at a local church, who told deputies Coleman had punched their dog in the face three times. The wife reportedly told police that Coleman started acting strange, shooting a gun in the air 10 times and firing at people's dogs in the neighborhood. The wife also told police that Coleman shot one dog and dragged it to the house. The wife fled the scene with her children and while police were interviewing her, deputies responded to gunshots heard nearby. Deputies said they confronted Coleman, who then raised a firearm at deputies. The two deputies then shot and killed him.
