Tyler Hodge

Deadly force

At about 10:15 p.m., officers responded to a welfare check to check on a woman at a home. Upon arrival, two officers contacted the woman and her daughter at the home. The woman reported a physical disturbance with her boyfriend, Tyler Hodge. The woman told officers she believed Hodge had left. Hodge's other was at the home, so the officers began checking the home and property. The two officers found Hodge seated in a detached shed in the backyard, armed with a rifle. Hodge ran toward the officers and fired multiple shots. During an exchange of gunfire in which a deputy was wounded, police shot and killed Hodge.
