Witnesses heard Young yelling, "Get back! Get back!" while he was inside the barn, Sheriff’s Cpl. Jamie Bailey said.

Authorities yelled to distract the aggressive animal and it then charged at them, leading a deputy to fire his rifle and put the animal down, the sheriff's office said.

An autopsy will be conducted to determine the man's cause of death, officials said.
