How they died
Deadly force
Around 7 p.m., officers responded to a radio call of a man armed with a knife. When the officers arrived, they saw Margarito Lopez armed with a butcher knife. Lopez was ordered to drop the knife; however, failed to do so. An officer fired a 40 Millimeter Less-Lethal Launcher foam projectile at Lopez, which was ineffective. Lopez allegedly continued in the direction of the officers. At that time, a second 40 Millimeter Less-Lethal foam projectile was fired, and then officers shot and killed him with real bullets.
