Ms. Massey had called emergency services because she believed an intruder had entered her home, prosecutors said. Mr. Grayson, 30, was charged with murder and was fired last month.

The sheriff’s office said the deputies, who were not injured, reported the shooting around 1:20 a.m. Crump’s office has said Massey was unarmed.
