How they died

Deadly force

About 3:30 p.m., officers were sent to a home. Someone had called 911 in distress but hung up. Police used the coordinates from the call to locate the home. As police canvassed the neighborhood, John Daniel Dixon, 75, came out of a home with a handgun and pointed it at the officers. Officers gave verbal commands to drop weapon, Dixon refused, so officers shot and killed Dixon.
