Name withheld by police

How they died

Suicide

Deputies responded to a home just after 11 p.m. for what they believed to be a domestic assault in progress after a woman had dialed 911, but wasn't able to address the dispatcher directly before being disconnected. The officers went in the front door and said they heard the sounds of an assault coming from a bathroom, then saw it taking place in a mirror. They saw a man with a shotgun and told him to drop it. The man allegedly began firing at the deputies, who took cover. The woman fled the bathroom and was evacuated from the house. Police said both deputies then fired eight rounds at the man, who was still shooting through the bathroom doorway. All of the deputies' shots reportedly missed. According to the deputies, the man then shot himself in the side of the head.
