WINDHAM (AP) — The widow of a man who was shot and killed by a sheriff ’s deputy in Maine is planning to sue for $2 million.

The Portland Press Herald reports that Vicki McKenney filed a notice of claim against the Cumberland County Sheriff ’s Department, Deputy Nicholas Mangino and the Windham Police Department.

Mangino fatally shot Stephen McKenney in April after he refused to drop a handgun he was carrying. Vicki McKenney called police to say her husband was suicidal.
