The deputies said they announced their presence upon entering and were met in the hallway by the 80-year-old man, wielding a gun and stumbling towards them.
The deputies later changed the story when the massive bloodstains on Mallory's mattress indicated to investigators that he'd most likely been in bed at the time of the shooting.
Investigators also found that an audio recording of the incident revealed a discrepancy in the deputies' original narrative: before listening to the audio recording, [Sgt. John] Bones believed that he told Mallory to "Drop the gun" prior to the shooting. The recording revealed, however, that his commands to "Drop the gun" occurred immediately after the shooting.
When it was all over, Eugene Mallory died of six gunshot wounds from Sgt. John Bones' MP-5 9mm submachine gun. When a coroner arrived, he found the loaded .22 caliber pistol the two deputies claimed Mallory had pointed at them on the bedside table.
Mallory had not fired a single shot.
The raid turned up no evidence of methamphetamine on the property.

I'm actually not shocked over the police gunning down a guy in his bed and lying about and such - same old, same old...
But, an 80-year old guy doing meth? Wow!
ETA: AND he was IN BED. Talk about your unbelievable stories...edit on 14-2-2014 by kalunom because: (no reason given)

1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. Sounds like an accidental discharge to me.
Unfortunately the man died, did I get something wrong?edit on 14-2-2014 by smurfy because: (no reason given)

Looks like another cop bashing thread on ATS.
The guy was 80 years old. I wouldn't doubt that the guy's done something wrong, after all these years.
He might have been thinking about doing something wrong, you know.
At this point, what does it matter?
Give the poor cops a break already.
