How they died

Deadly force

An officer spotted Michael Harris in a other that was wanted in connection to two local bank robberies. Harris exited the original other and got into a small silver car being driven by a woman and took off. As police pursued the Harris, he began leaning out of the back windows, shooting at the officers. Officer Jeremy Mason was struck in the chin by a bullet that came in through his windshield but continued to pursue Harris. The chase ended at Old Middleburg Road N. and Buttercup Street when Harris' car blew through a stop sign and another car, unrelated to the incident, crashed into it. Harris got out of his car and was instructed to drop his weapon, he did not and shot at the officers, who shot and killed him.
