Camper and hunter Bass smilingly threatened three Forest Service employees with a handgun, seated in a lawn chair, reciting Bible verses, and waved in a friendly way as they backed off. When five county deputies returned to investigate, Bass smiled, waved them in with his left hand lodged down in his jacket, then pulled a handgun with his right hand. He was fatally shot.
