Deputies responded to a home after a man allegedly assaulted a relative. He fled into nearby woods with a large-caliber handgun and threatened suicide. Upon arrival, deputies heard a single gunshot from the woods and found the man lying in the woods. When officers approached him, he sprang up, began cursing at the deputies and fired at least several shots in their direction. Deputies and witnesses retreated, but moments later the man emerged and began firing at officers who shot and killed him.
