The Sheriff's Office received a call at 5:20 p.m. about a domestic assault. Franklin Gray was holding his mother down on a couch, and she was having trouble breathing. When the three deputies arrived, they found Gray outside the home and tried to arrest him, but he began fighting them. Gray allegedly attempted to take one deputy's gun, ripping the holster from the deputy's belt, at which point the weapon went off. Deputies tasered Gray, but it did not incapacitate him, and the altercation continued, until at least one deputy shot and killed him.
