Deputies tried to pull over a white sedan, which didn't initially stop. Deputies could see three people inside the vehicle, according to police. After one of the deputies opened the car's rear passenger door, a passenger fired at the deputy, who returned fire. The man then fired on the second deputy, who also returned fire. It was unclear what prompted the gunman to open fire. He fired at least three rounds before he was shot and killed.
