Waterford Police received a 911 call of a domestic dispute. The female caller reported she had left the residence after being assaulted by her husband.

Shortly after the last phone contact, the subject exited the house with a shotgun. He walked through the side tree line and charged an officer at which time he was shot and killed. Puckett was a veteran who reportedly suffered from PTSD.
