New Details in Fatal Shooting by Deputy

HARRISON COUNTY — New details are released after a 61-year-old Army veteran was shot and killed during an altercation with a Harrison County deputy. It happened when a sister of the man, described as mentally ill, called authorities for a welfare check. The man began swinging on the officer, who both Tasered and dry-Tasered him with no result. Sheriff’s Lieutenant Jay Webb says the “officer was then knocked down, and as the fight ensued, the…officer fired the weapon.” The officer was attacked as soon as he entered the home and suffered minor injuries. The Texas Rangers are investigating. Arthur McAfee was pronounced dead at a Longview-area hospital.
