Cashus Dean Case was shot to death after he refused to drop two black powder pistols, police said. The shooting was reported shortly after 1:30 p.m. in an RV park. Officers with Seaside police responded to a report of an armed man. Case, who lived in the trailer park, was apparently angry that a man had been bitten by a dog and was waving around two pistols. Witnesses disputed the story, saying Case had the guns in holsters, and he'd just stopped a three-dog attack on a man.
