A man from Sullivan was shot and killed by police officers on Wednesday.
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 earlier in the day. Police say the protective order was issued because there was some kind of a domestic incident between Atkins and another woman Tuesday night. At around 4 pm Wednesday, the deputies told the sheriff’s office that Atkins had been shot.
He died from his injuries.“We have no information to indicate that any of the officers sustained any injuries as a result of this incident,” said State Police Sergeant Kevin Getz. Both deputies are on administrative leave, per department policy. An autopsy is pending.
