Deputies and at least one Greenville City Police officer "encountered" Healey upon their arrival, according to the release, and one deputy shot him. Healey had at least one gunshot wound and was soon pronounced dead at the hospital. The release did not say whether Healey fired any weapons at law enforcement personnel. The public information officer for the Greenville County Sheriff's Office did not respond to an email and multiple calls seeking more information.
