How they died
Deadly force
Deputies responding to a call from a disturbed man encountered Donald Peter Johnson perched in a tree stand behind his home armed with a handgun. A standoff ensued in which deputies attempted to get Johnson to disarm and come down from the tree. After Johnson refused, deputies shot Johnson with 40mm less lethal foam rounds and deployed tear gas. An armored personnel other moved in as Johnson came down from the tree. Johnson climbed back into the tree stand and shot and injured a deputy who was pursuing him. Two deputies shot Johnson, who fell from the tree stand and died.
