Jacqueline Sherrill

How they died

Suicide

Jacqueline Sherrill reportedly killed herself during a standoff with sheriff's deputies. Deputies responded to Sherrill's home after her mother called for assistance. According to officials, Sherrill's mother had fled from her daughter's house after Sherrill threatened suicide and fired a shot. Sherrill reportedly took a potshot at the first two deputies on the scene. The deputies said they heard another shot fired inside the home a few minutes later, but were unable to confirm Sherrill's suicide for almost two hours due to concerns for officers' safety. At around 3 p.m., tear gas was fired into the home. A special-response team then went inside and found Sherrill's body.
