How they died
Deadly force
Police said a woman called 911 at about 6:15 p.m. reporting that her estranged husband, Whit McCormack, was threatening her at her home. Apparently, he was upset about the amount of child support he would have to pay when the couple got divorced. Deputy Byron Shelton arrived and tracked McCormack to a bedroom, where he had the woman cornered. Shelton told him to drop his gun, and McCormack fired, hitting the deputy twice and wounding him. The deputy shot and killed McCormack.
