Police responded to Acre's residence after receiving a call from a third party who claimed that there was a domestic dispute. When they arrived at the residence, the deputies knocked on the door and was met by Acre who was welding a handgun, Franklin said. Acre was told repeatedly to put his gun down, but he refused to comply. At some point during the exchange, a deputy deployed his Taser, which sent Acre to the ground, he said. But, before deputies could disarm Acre, he removed one of the probes and got back on his feet.When again Acre wouldn't put his gun down or be subdued, the supervisor fired his service weapon one time hitting Acre in the upper torso, Franklin said. Acre died at the scene.
