Authorities say a man they described as suicidal northwest of Boise, Idaho, died after a police officer fired at him.
STAR, Idaho — A man described as suicidal died after a police officer fired at him in Idaho, authorities said.
Officers found Huffman in a field and began talking to him while he held a handgun and moved it around his head, the news release said. The sheriff’s office said officers suspected Huffman was hurt and could see he was breathing. For about 10 minutes after that officers were telling him to toss the gun so they could help. Then Huffman grabbed the gun, sat up, began yelling and waving the gun around and that’s when initial information indicates that a police officer fired and Huffman again fell down, the news release said.
The coroner’s report said Huffman died of a gunshot wound to the chest, the Idaho Statesman reported.
