The suspect who was killed, has been identified as Christopher Shell, 43. Walker County Sheriff Steve Wilson tells Channel 3, the deputies were responding to a 911 call for help involving a domestic dispute. The call was made from a neighboring home around 8:30 p.m. Two deputies initially responded, they were immediately greeted by a woman who claimed she had just been assaulted by Shell. Officers noted that she was visibly upset, with trauma to her face and blood on her shirt. Deputies then approached the home and asked Shell to come outside.
