The coroner identified the man Wednesday afternoon as Lucas Alleman, 43, of Star. Alleman was pronounced dead at the scene after deputies attempted life-saving measures, according to the Sheriff’s Office, which said he produced a handgun, prompting two deputies to fire their weapons.

The incident had nothing to do with any activities at the athletic fields, and there’s no threat to public safety.
