... Grover T. Crosslin, 47, was shot and killed after he exited a building on his property with a gun and ignored authorities' requests to drop the weapon.

Ah, yes, the ol' "request". "Uh, excuse me, Mr. Crosslin, if it wouldn't be too much trouble, could you take it upon yourself to please put your weapon on the ground? We'd be most appreciative, Sir."

The situation began Friday when deputies went to the farm after neighbors said Crosslin was burning buildings on his property, which is the target of civil forfeiture proceedings.

So there's the reason they are there. They are trying to protect the value of the property they are attempting to seize. Follow the money. They are trying to preserve the value of their "investment". Bounty hunters, all.
