Deputy Chad Miller ordered Culbertson out of his vehicle after Miller was told by a store clerk that Culbertson seemed to be intoxicated, authorities said. Culbertson pulled a gun, which went off as he and Miller struggled, they said. Deputy Wade Grim, who had arrived to back up Miller, then shot and killed Culbertson. Neither deputy was injured.
