Deadly force

Deputies responded at about 2:30 p.m. to a disturbing-the-peace call involving a woman and her adult son. The deputies determined the woman was a victim of assault and learned that there were multiple firearms inside the house where the son, a 50-year-old man, was located. After obtaining an arrest warrant, the deputies made multiple attempts to get the man to surrender, but he did not respond. As deputies attempted to serve the warrant, he began shooting at deputies from inside the house, and deputies shot and killed him.
