When deputies attempted to contact the suspect they noticed that he was holding a rifle, Koerner said. He became uncooperative, barricaded himself inside the vehicle and deputies tried to negotiate his surrender for approximately an hour and a half.
During the negotiation, at approximately 11:10 p.m., the suspect allegedly pointed the rifle at the deputies who then opened fire on him, Koerner said.
No deputies were injured and a rifle was recovered at the scene.
