A retired Golden firefighter who was shot by sheriff’s deputies at his home in Florida died Friday as a result of his injuries.
Dallas Adkins Jr., 59, was shot March 4 by Palm Beach County deputies after neighbors called 911 to report Adkins was armed and threatening suicide. Initially, the Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office reported that Adkins had fired shots at deputies, but ballistics tests later revealed that Adkins did not fire.
David Aronberg, an attorney representing Adkins and his family, has notified the county and the Sheriff’s Office of the intent to file a lawsuit over the shooting and Adkins’ death.
