Apparently distraught, Jeff Foote called police and told a dispatcher that he planned to shoot himself, the sheriff's office said in a news release. Officers from multiple police agencies went to the home Foote shared with his to find him standing in the front yard, brandishing a small handgun. One deputy tried to calm Foote. As they spoke, however, Foote apparently discharged his gun and an officer returned fire killing Foote.
