he man shot by Onondaga County Sheriff's deputies on Onondaga Hill Tuesday night was a former corrections officer who died in the shooting. The shooting happened around 5:50 p.m. Tuesday at 5006 Aitchison Road in the Town of Onondaga. 57-year-old Michael Sica lived in the house with his parents. He was estranged from his wife. At a news conference Wednesday afternoon, Sheriff Kevin Walsh says police received a 911 call from Sica’s parents saying he had made threats to kill himself and shoot police, and he was going to a storage facility to get guns and ammunition. They say Sica's parents had left the house for fear of their own safety. A deputy responded to the house, and Walsh says the deputy found Sica sitting in the driver's set of a red car in the driveway. Walsh says Sica got out of the car when the deputy approached, pulled a pistol and put it in the deputy’s face. The deputy called for backup, which arrived in time to witness Sica going into the house's garage. Police say they heard a gunshot coming from the house and thought Sica had committed suicide. When they entered the garage Sica pointed a gun at them, and that’s when they shot Sica. He was pronounced dead at the scene by medical personnel. Read More. |
