James Henry Wood III

Deadly force

Sheriff 's deputies were called to the home of a neighbor of Wood, Archie Smith, who had been caring for Wood's father. Wood reportedly had forced his way into Smith's home. Before authorities could arrive, Wood had returned to his home about 300 yards away. State police negotiators and a Special Weapons and Tactics team set up a perimeter around the home and tried to make contact with Wood. Wood was spotted leaving his home, apparently heading for a other. SWAT team members tasered and then shot and killed him.
