Shannon Jason Cables

Deadly force

Police said Shannon Jason Cables assaulted his wife and 19-year-old daughter in their home. He had threatened his wife, spraying her with mace and hitting her in the head with a pool cue. The women called for help as Cables fled into the woods behind the house. About 2:15 p.m., deputies returned to the house with the two women. While inside, the daughter told deputies she saw Cables outside the house. Cables was coming toward the house armed with a shotgun and an AR-15. The deputies told him to drop his weapons, and when he didn't, a gunfight ensued, and Cables was shot and killed.
