How they died
Deadly force
A man was crawling on the lawn outside a burning Tacoma house with a rifle in his hand as firefighters battled the flames. Neighbors called 911 with concerns about the man. Witnesses said he appeared to be drunk as he started walking down Pacific Avenue. Police arrived about 10:45 p.m. and ordered the man to put down his gun. He allegedly refused. They exchanged gunfire, and the man was killed.
