Deputies responded to a gunshot victim call, and while deputies attended to the victim, other deputies attempted to detain three male suspects. One of the suspects ran down an alley, immediately followed by two deputies. When the deputies caught up, the man turned toward one of them and drew a revolver from his waistband, police said. He was shot and killed.
