How they died

Deadly force

Police responded to a home after the woman who lived at the home showed up to the police station, saying her son had beat her up. Two of his officers arrived to talk to the son, he opened the door and was holding a gun pointed toward his chest. Police ordered him several times to drop the gun, but the man ignored their commands and pointed the gun at officers and was shot and killed by Officer Matthew Branscum.
