Nick “N.S.” Gordon

Deadly force

Gordon was shot and killed in an altercation with Lowndes County Sheriff's Deputies Marc Miley and Archie Williams, who were responding to a domestic disturbance. When the deputies arrived, Gordon reportedly was holding a nail gun. Both deputies deployed their tasers several times to no effect. The deputies then moved closer to try tasering Gordon from a shorter distance, but were both hit in the head with the nail gun during an ensuing struggle before Gordon was shot twice and died.
