How they died
Suicide
Mac C. Sheridan reportedly shot himself in the head as a deputy shot him in the back. Police said Sheridan was sleeping at the Rail Splitter rest area inside a 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier that had been reported stolen when two deputies pulled in at about 4:30 a.m. The deputies tapped on the window, and Sheridan woke up startled. The deputies said they identified themselves and told Sheridan to put his hands up, but he allegedly reached into his coat and withdrew a handgun. The deputies stepped back and drew their guns. Sheridan then shot himself. Almost simultaneously, one of the deputies shot into the car, hitting Sheridan in the back.
