Okaloosa County Sheriff Larry Ashley said Deputy Bill Myers died after being shot multiple times in the back of the head and in the back by Joel Dixson Smith.
Smith originally went to his lawyer's office to be given a domestic violence injunction by Myers and turn over firearms to him, Ashley said in a news conference Tuesday afternoon.
As Myers went with Smith to get the guns from Smith's car, Ashley told reporters that Smith drew a concealed weapon and shot Myers multiple times. Myers was taken to a hospital where he died.
Smith was located shortly after the shooting at a Comfort Inn and Suites in Niceville, where he had barricaded himself in a room. The suspect exchanged gunfire with police and was killed.
Myers, 64, had retired in 2013 but started working part-time in January serving civil papers to earn extra money to take his granddaughter to Walt Disney World
