At 7:30 a.m. on the first day of turkey season Coffey, hunting on his own private land, encountered a state wildlife officer. There was a confrontation between the two men perhaps worsened by the older man's hearing problems. The officer shot Coffey in the chest in perceived self-defense and killed the hunter.
