I did not find a dupe.
Idaho State Police are investigating after a Council rancher was shot and killed Sunday by deputies with the Adams County Sheriff's Office. The incident began when a Subaru station wagon crashed into a bull on US 95 north of Council at about 6:45 p.m. Emergency responders and Adams County deputies responded and were working to extricate the two people inside the car. Adams County Sheriff Ryan Zollman said the bull, which was injured in the collision, started charging at emergency responders and other vehicles. "The bull was very agitated and was aggressive to emergency services, as well as the other cars coming up and down the highway," he said. Deputies were getting ready to put the animal down when the bull's owner, 62-year-old Jack Yantis, arrived on the scene with a rifle. Zollman said dispatchers had called Yantis after the crash, telling him that the bull that was hit appeared to be his, and was down on the highway near his house. What happened next is still under investigation, but Zollman said there was an altercation and Yantis and both deputies all fired their weapons. Yantis was fatally wounded and died at the scene. One of the deputies suffered a minor injury. Moar here |

I almost think there's a war on cattlemen?
Edit: war on cattlemen? |

I came across a black cow on a back road one night. Thing was hard to see! This was outside the cattle guard areas too so I wasn't expecting it.

Old man shows up, gets pissed that the cops want to shoot his cow?
Sounds like a cluster. |
|

Usually, it's the 'World Champion Prize Breeding-Stock Bulls' that get hit. At least they become one when they get hit.

I'm willing to bet that the old man showed up with his rifle to put down the bull, the deputies went derp, and the old man wound up dead.

View Quote It says there was an altercation which kinda rules out that if by that you're saying he showed up with a gun and the deputies thought he was there for nefarious purposes and just shot him. Sounds like there was an argument. Who knows. We need more facts. |

CIA cops with ghost 22s meant to quietly remove dissenters. He probably was wearing a gas mask to defeat the chem trails. Error in judgement, won't happen again. |

If a bull is pissed off then the only way you can stop him is with a gun. I tried to stop one with a Jeep one time and I'm not sure if he even acknowledged my presence.

Well we have the auto victims who were present, we have EMS that was present, and we know the deputies were aware the bull owner was coming because dispatch called him. Given all of that, the more likely scenario is that an argument took place. |

I had a couple of text alerts about closure on route 95 in that area, now it makes sense.

A deputy was shot in the altercation (grazed actually).
At least that's the inside dope I have as of right now (from LE). |

Clearly the old coot was just protecting his property and shot dead by jack booted agents of the government. Molon Labe motherfuckers! Well, it looks like that's what happened.

There was a story a few years back of a cop who hit a killed a kid (cop was on a motorcycle, I think). It was (obviously) a complete accident.
Dad showed up and attacked the cop, the cop ended up shooting and killing him. Tragic story, nobody went home a winner there. edit: The little girl was not killed, she was fucked up pretty bad, but lived. |

The area where the bull was hit is open range, Zollman said, and darkness had fallen by the time the Subaru crashed into the black bull in the roadway.
WTF this makes no sense. On a public road. What more bs to the story? |

omg, if a guy says he has a .22 he has a .22. That is not suspicious.
I got a .22 right here next to me. It was stuffed in my belt this afternoon. Am I suspicious? |
