Deputies went to Adkins's residence to serve an emergency custody order around 6:45 p.m. The mentally-ill Navy veteran confronted them with sawed-off shotgun. Negotiators were sent to reason with Adkins. Around 10 p.m., authorities used a diversionary device, or flashbang grenade, against Adkins. He shot at authorities, who fatally shot him in response.
