Deputies Charles Nichols and James McMahan were shot and killed while attempting to arrest a suspect.
When the officers attempted to handcuff the suspect, he produced a handgun and shot both of them.

The brother who murdered Deputy Nichols and Deputy McMahan was also shot and killed in the shootout.
