CALDWELL, Idaho (AP) — A man who was killed by two Idaho deputies after he pointed a gun at them has been identified by authorities.
KTVB-TV reported Tuesday that 49-year-old Sidney J. Holst of Caldwell was killed after a five-hour standoff with the Canyon County Sheriff's Office Sunday.
Authorities say an autopsy completed Tuesday confirmed Holst died from a single gunshot wound.
Police responded to reports of a domestic incident just before 8:30 a.m. and Holst barricaded himself inside a home.
Authorities say the Canyon County SWAT unit was dispatched after police attempted to negotiate with Holst for hours.
A police dog was sent after Holst when he used a back exit around 1:30 p.m.
Police say Holst pointed a handgun and two deputies fired.
Authorities say Holst died at the scene.
