Paul Carr Palmer III

How they died

Deadly force

Police received multiple reports of a nude adult male in the pool area. Two hotel employees first encountered the male who began chasing them while holding a knife. An arriving officer encountered the suspect, still armed with the knife, in the southeast parking lot. The officer gave numerous commands to which the suspect did not comply. The officer used his low-lethal shotgun, which was ineffective. The man then charged toward the officer, and the officer shot and killed him.
