[quote]A Nye County Sheriff's Deputy who was shot by a suspect Monday afternoon has died. The suspect was also shot and killed in the shooting outside a Pahrump casino.
A woman told deputies she and her boyfriend, James Chaffin, were breaking up. As she was leaving his house which is near the Terrible's Lakeside Casino, Chaffin started shooting at her car. The woman drove off and called police. She then headed to the casino to take cover.
Chaffin followed her and a fight started inside the casino. As the woman walked out in the casino parking lot, Chaffin followed her and that's when sheriff's deputies arrived.
"I was sitting at the machine right next to the front door and I heard pop, pop, pop," explained Jackie Pettid.
Deputy Ian Deutchgot out of his vehicle and was shot at by Chaffin three times in stomach with an assault rifle. Another deputy shot and killed 30 year old Chaffin.
Medics airlifted Deputy Deutch to UMC. He was wearing a bullet proof vest but his vest did not protect him from this particular type of bullet. Deputy Deutch died around 9pm Monday.
This was his first week back on the job after returning home from a tour of duty in Afghanistan. Deputy Deutch was 27 years old. He leaves behind a wife, six year old daughter and a stepson.
He joined the Nevada Guard in March 2000 and became a staff sergeant in May 2009.[/quote][IMG]http://ktnv.images.worldnow.com/images/12379052_BG6.jpg[/IMG]

:frown:
A brave man dies.
Happens all too often sadly. :ohdear:
Running to a casino to hide? That's quite a gamble if you ask me. Sadly God didn't deal the right cards for Deputy.
looks like he won't be cashing in
I shot the deputy
But i didn't shoot the sheriff.
I always feel terrible when guys like that die... they put their lives in danger and everyone hates them :(
