How they died
Suicide
Deputies and officers went to Jennifer Sue Shirley's home at 3:15 a.m. to check on her for unspecified reasons. When they entered her home, they found her inside holding a gun. Shirley agreed to set the gun aside when an officer fired a less-lethal device at her, and she grabbed the gun and started shooting. A state trooper began communicating with Shirley. That communication continued until shortly after 7 a.m., when smoke was seen coming from inside the home. Emergency responders, along with deputies and police officers, then entered the home to extinguish the fire and found Shirley dead.
