Naab fired once more into the air and told the deputy to get off his property. Read more

Schonemen wrestled the shotgun away and put it on the ground.

Then Naab walked toward Deputy Valenzuela, pulling a handgun from his waistband.

After a warning, Valenzuela fired five rounds, hitting Naab four times and killing him.
