Attorneys for a 59-year-old woman have filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office after she was shot by deputies last year, The Commercial Appeal reports. The lawsuit, filed last week, claims Nancy Jane Lewellyn was in a mental health crisis when she was fatally shot while holding a BB gun in her driveway. She had called 911 and made threats to kill herself or the next person she saw, according to records.
