Randy Vaught

Suicide

Randy Vaught led police on a high speed chase that ended at his mother's house on Hunters Run. There, he ran in the back door. When Deputy Daniel Tatum chased after him and opened the back door, Vaught shot him several times. Officers converged on the home. Sheriff Dickerson was called by Vaught's mother to help convince Vaught to give up peacefully. During a four-hour standoff, Vaught walked outside the home several times. Vaught was apparently ready to surrender when he pulled out a handgun, dropped to his knees and shot and killed himself.
