How they died

Deadly force

Morristown Police responded to a report of a stabbing. When officers arrived, they found 40-year-old Wendy Lea Pope dead inside of a other; shortly after, officers found 49-year-old Ronald Pope, the victim's husband, inside the couple's apartment. Pope was allegedly armed with a handgun and refused to comply with officers telling him to drop the weapon. Pope reportedly raised the weapon at officers, which then prompted four officers to shoot and kill him. Grand Jury said shooting justified.
