“Sheriff’s spokesman Cpl. Ashley Henson said before the shooting, officers knocked on the door of the residence in Hiram and announced who they were. They then entered the home — although Henson didn’t make clear how they did so — and encountered Hammett in a darkened hallway. ‘It was then that agents opened fire on Mr. Hammett, fatally striking him once,’ Henson explained. ‘It was later determined that Hammett had raised a canister of pepper spray toward the agents.’ Cpl. Henson said evidence related to drug trafficking was later found in the home, but didn’t specifiy exactly what had been found.”
