How they died

Deadly force

McAbee stole a other in Homedale, ID. Pursuit occurred with attempts to stop him being unsuccessful. Police say, during pursuit, McAbee fired shots at pursuing deputies/officers and struck a police other. When McAbee stopped his other after spinning out, he pointed his rifle and shot at deputies, and officers shot and killed him. The family disputes this version of events, saying that the rifle was missing the firing pin, and the killing wound was through the top of his head, exiting through his neck, which suggests he was on the ground when he was shot.
