A deputy responded about a disturbance and found William Shawn Mann standing in the road. Mann walked back into a house. A second deputy arrived. Mann ran out of the house, jumped into a patrol car and used it to ram the other patrol car before driving into the woods. Deputies stopped him and got him out of the car. A deputy attempted to shock Mann with a Taser, but it did not incapacitate him, and then a deputy fatally shot him.
