According to Johnson County Sheriff's Office Lt. Tim Jones, a business on the east side of Johnson County reported the theft of a firearm. At the same time, a Johnson County deputy saw a vehicle leaving the area of the theft traveling at an estimated 100 mph. The deputy pursued the suspect — later identified as 30-year-old Nathan Lee Bailey — to Vista Ridge Lane. Bailey ran into a home, where deputies and DPS troopers took up positions surrounding the mobile home. After a period of time, Jones said Bailey popped out of the residence and opened fire at Johnson County Sheriff's Office personnel, then did so again a few moments later. The second time, officers outside shot and killed Bailey.
