How they died
Less-than-lethal force
Dennis Ward confronted police when they arrived at a domestic disturbance with a pistol in his hand and fired shots into the ground, according to police. He ignored orders from police to drop the gun. Ward approached Officer Benjamin Kolko, and Sgt. Matthew Cook fired his Taser at Ward as Kolko fired two shots at Ward. The shots missed, but Ward was immobilized long enough for police to arrest him. He died shortly after.
