Police say once Thurston and Patton were inside Deputy Constable Phillips opened fire, hitting Patton in the chest, once his partner collapsed, Thurston took off, running right into the woods nearby, where Police say he ditched a handgun.

Well Done Deputy Phillips, glad you survived this potentially deadly encounter... The most basic reason to own a firearm, Protection of your family and yourself.
