Deputies gave the suspect numerous commands to drop the firearm to no avail. While the suspect was standing in the front doorway he began to sweep his right arm and body toward the Deputies while still holding the pistol in his right hand. When this occurred Deputies feared for their lives and the patrol sergeant fired his duty rifle five times in the direction of the suspect. The suspect then retreated back into the residence.

The pistol had six live rounds in the cylinder, and empty shell casings were found in the master bedroom.
