How they died
Deadly force
Deputies were serving a felony warrant with Lufkin police officers assisting. Around 5 p.m., officers went to Bigs, formerly known as Cherry's Grocery, to arrest a customer who was wanted by the Texas Board of Pardons and Parole. When confronted, Richard Woods allegedly produced a handgun and aimed it at the deputy. The deputy then shot Woods. He allegedly reached for the handgun, which he had dropped, and the Lufkin Police officer also shot him. Whose bullet killed him was not immediately reported.
