Mohammad Azim Doudzai

How they died

Deadly force

Mohammad Azim Doudzai had shot two men who were brothers. Those brothers then drove themselves to the hospital where they were treated for injuries that were not considered life-threatening. The police SWAT team surrounded the home. Police say another man who was inside eventually called 911 and said he was being held hostage by the gunman. Doudzai lit the house on fire and fired the gun inside the home, but did not hit the hostage. Witnesses say the Doudzai walked out on a rear balcony, was ordered to drop his gun, and then he went back inside. He came to the front door armed with a knife and was shot and killed by one of the officers.
