Nye County deputies were dispatched to a home where a family argument was underway. John Beaudoin who was not allowed to have a gun allegedly had one and police were called. Deputies arrived and claim that he pointed a gun. Police escalated a standoff.

“I’m on Bunarch Road and Deputy Meyers said that he’s going to come and get me. But to tell you the truth, I’m going to kill myself before I go outside,” Beaudoin reportedly told dispatchers before he again threatened suicide. “I’m John Beaudoin, I didn’t do nothing wrong, but I’m going to kill myself before I go outside. I’m not going to jail again. You guys can have all of the s**t that I got. I don’t care no more.”

Numerous beanbag rounds were fired with 3 hitting him. He fled into the house once the impact munitions struck him. Throughout, he was described as distressed, holding a gun to his head while under police assault.

Police claim that he raised his weapon at deputies but it is unclear how deputies saw that unless they invaded the home. Deputy Huggins fired 4 shots into his torso, deliberately killing him.
