Deadly force
Deputies responded to a 911 domestic dispute call from Michael C. Nichols' 70-year-old mother Barbara Nichols. Upon arriving they found Nichols standing over or attacking his mother with a knife. According to one report, investigators said Nichols "refused repeated commands to stop stabbing her".At least one of the deputies opened fire, killing Nichols. His mother was taken to the hospital with "moderate injuries".
