Indiana State Police say 54-year-old Cameron Lee Adkins pointed a gun at two deputies from the Sullivan County Sheriff’s Department after they had gone to his home to address the specifics of a protective order that had been served to Atkins.

Police say the protective order was issued because there was some kind of a domestic incident between Adkins and a woman.

Police were called and did respond to that domestic incident Tuesday night.

At around 4 pm Wednesday, the deputies told the sheriff’s office that Atkins had been shot. He died from his injuries.

There were no injuries to the deputies who are now on administrative leave, per department policy.

An autopsy is pending.
