Shooting details emerge  Deputy who used deadly force says he
had no choice  MEEKER -- Rio Blanco Sheriff's Sgt. Anthony
Mazzola shot Meeker resident Everett Link nine times Friday
night-- six times in his side and back.  "There was no doubt in
my mind that it was either him or us," Mazzola said Tuesday. "I
know in my heart that I did what I had to do. There was no
choice."  The shooting ended a short chase in which officers
cornered Link in his pickup after deputies responded to an
alleged domestic violence incident on Piceance Creek Road.
Link, 39, allegedly had a loaded shotgun raised and was turning
toward Mazzola's car and the driver, Deputy Jeremy Lancaster.
Mazzola emptied 15 rounds from his .40-caliber pistol. Some of
the bullets hit the truck and surrounding area. Four loaded guns
and 675 rounds of ammunition were pulled from Link's 1987 Chevy
half-ton pickup, Rio Blanco Sheriff Si Woodruff said.  Residents
of Meeker are trying to grapple with the loss of a man
considered by some as a nice guy who
