Francisco Suarez-Maldonado

Deadly force

Police responded to possible gunshots. Two officers spoke with a woman who said she had fought with her boyfriend, Francisco Suarez-Maldonado, outside of their house. Her boyfriend shot a gun in the front yard before leaving. He came back, and two more officers arrived. Police asked him to get out of his pickup and tried to calm him down for about five minutes. He pointed a handgun out the driver's side window and shot between three and five rounds at the first two responding officers. All four officers shot at and killed him.
