The Granville County Sheriff’s Office acknowledged Thursday that a deputy fired the shots that killed a 23-year-old man Wednesday evening.

The deputy fired after the man shot at him with a shotgun, the sheriff’s office said. Neither the deputy nor the 23-year-old were named.

Sheriff John Hardy said deputies went to a home on Reavis Road, close to the town of Stovall, at around 5:25 p.m. after someone called 911 and hung up.

When they arrived, deputies were told that the man had committed an assault and had left the home armed with a shotgun, Hardy said. Deputies searched for the man but couldn’t find him.

Suspect wanted for church shooting killed by police after Colorado crime spree

Jessica Schladebeck, New York Daily News
The suspect accused of fatally shooting a woman and wounding two others inside a Colorado church was killed by police officers after days on the run.

Authorities had been searching for Jose De Jesus Montoya-Villa since Friday, when he unleashed gunfire inside the Iglesia Faro De Luz Church around 8 p.m. More than a dozen people were gathered inside the house of worship for an evening event, including a 36-year-old woman who died in the violence.

The 31-year-old is also a suspect in several recent crimes in the Aurora area, including a shooting late Wednesday afternoon. Authorities said they were responding to reports of a man shooting at people in a parking lot when they discovered the gunshot victim.
