Frederick County Sheriff's deputies arrived at the suspect's home to execute a search and seizure warrant looking for evidence from a home invasion robbery. Deputies used a flash-bang diversionary device on entering, and found Daniel Alain Vail in his bedroom holding a gun. He refused to drop it when told; Deputy First Class Charles Zang and Deputy First Class Kevin Riffle fired a total of 18 shots, killing Vail. A grand jury found the deputies actions were justified.
