Deputies spotted a man wanted in connection to a double homicide case from 2014. G.D. Hendrix saw the officers coming for him, prompting him to get in his car and flee down Highway 70. He was stopped with spike strips. A police dog got in a fight with Hendrix's pit bull. Hendrix took a shooter's stance and aimed what appeared to be a gun at the officers. Seven officers from three different agencies shot and killed Hendrix, who was armed with a piece of pipe. Both dogs were killed in the crossfire. All officers cleared of criminal wrongdoing.
