Trevor Mullinax received at least nine gunshot wounds, three of them to the head, while suffering a mental health crisis. The family says Mulllax's friends had provided the emergency operator with the man's and his mother's numbers so they could be contacted.

The police maintain that they did not receive that information. Now, the family has gone public that they will sue the sheriff's office for using excessive force against them. The man was taken to hospital and survived, despite receiving at least 9 gunshot wounds. The York County sheriff maintains that MullinAX raised a gun when he saw the officers, prompting them to fire.
