Overview
- Authorities identified the deceased as Kristopher Lee Johnson, 43, who was shot after exiting a stopped truck with a gun and ignoring commands.
- A 911 call released by the sheriff's office captured Johnson ordering a coworker to get on his knees as multiple gunshots were fired.
- Investigators found 14 spent shell casings at the initial confrontation site and recovered a .40-caliber handgun at the shooting scene.
- Deputies used a PIT maneuver to stop a stolen pickup on U.S. 1, and Johnson walked away waving a gun and yelling "shoot me" before two deputies opened fire.
- The two deputies were placed on administrative leave as standard procedure, and the sheriff's office is asking the public to upload any relevant home, business, or cellphone video.
