Deputies responded to a domestic disturbance involving a man armed with a handgun inside a fifth-wheel trailer. Officers ordered him to exit, but he refused. Deputies fired less-lethal rounds, and the man complained of back pain but remained inside. Officers then fired pepper ball rounds into the trailer. The man fired two gunshots, and three deputies opened fire. After an hour with no response, drones entered the trailer and found him unresponsive on the floor. SWAT entered and confirmed he was dead.
