The family of an Idaho rancher allege he was shot dead in a hail of bullets fired by a trigger-happy doomsday-prepper cop.
Jack Yantis, 62, was killed after Deputy Brian Wood and his partner called him to euthanize his own bull, which had been struck by a vehicle in November 2015.
Arriving to find his animal still alive despite having been shot six times by Woods with his AR-15 assault rifle, Yantis allegedly became angry at the inhumane method of his bull's execution.
Just a few chaotic seconds later 14 shots had been fired by Woods and his partner, leaving Yantis dead and his stunned wife suffering a heart attack as a result of the shock.
Yantis' nephew Rowdy Paradis was also left cuffed on the floor, despite protesting he had a long term shoulder injury.
Furious, the Yantis family have filed a lawsuit against Woods labeling him a murderer who was unhealthily obsessed with the idea of shooting looters.

HOLY COW BATMAN, sounds just like the overzealous clowns @ The Wicomico County Sherrif's Department that work in the court system serving frivolous papers on men as result of OPIATE TAKING EX WIVES.
