How they died
Deadly force
Police said Nelson's mother called 911 reporting Nelson was armed and suicidal behind the home. Coconino County Sheriff's Office, Flagstaff Police Department and the Arizona Department of Public Safety all arrived at the area and tried to convince Nelson to surrender his gun. Nelson drove his truck to the front of the home and got out of the truck with a high-powered rifle. After more negotiation, Nelson pointed the gun at himself, then at officers, which is when CCSO deputies shot and killed him.
