McCoy responded. The deputy grabbed McCoy. McCoy went back into the apartment, dragging the deputy with him. Roth fired two shots at the deputies. Roth was fatally shot. One of the responding deputies, Terry Ashabranner, also killed Michael Goodman and shot at Waseem Jung. He left Precinct 4 on Mar. 15, 2005.
