QUINCY, Ill. (AP) – Western Illinois authorities have identified a man who was fatally shot Thursday by sheriff’s deputies after he reportedly pointed a handgun at the officers. Adams County’s coroner says 29-year-old Bradley S. Havermale of Quincy was pronounced dead at the scene following Thursday afternoon’s shooting south of Quincy. Adams County Sheriff Anthony Grootens says deputies were responding to a call about a suicidal person when Havermale exited a vehicle, brandished a handgun and led deputies on a short foot chase. He says three deputies shot Havermale after he reportedly pointed the gun at himself and then at the deputies.
