Simpsonville, SC - Deputies said on May 4, they were called to a home on Bryson Heights Drive in response to a disturbance involving a gun.

In the critical incident report, the 911 caller stated 34-year-old James Daniel Webster Jr. was drunk and pulled out a gun during an argument.

The sheriff’s office said the first deputy arrived on scene around 10:08 p.m. He believed the caller had barricaded herself into a bathroom and Webster was trying to force his way in, so he forced entry into the home.

In the video, you can hear the deputy give out verbal commands to Webster asking him to come out of the bathroom.

Officials said the deputy went outside, looked through a window and reported seeing a rifle pointed directly at him. At that time, the deputy fired and hit Webster.

Webster was pronounced dead on scene.

The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division was called to investigate.

Sheriff Hobart Lewis said the deputy’s use of deadly force was justified.
