How they died

Deadly force

Officers were called to a family disturbance. According to police, the caller reported his 53-year-old daughter was intoxicated and vandalizing the inside of his residence. When officers arrived, the woman had left the home, but she returned and was armed with a knife. When police returned to the residence, the woman, armed with knives, confronted them in the street. Police said officers told her to drop the knives but she "advanced rapidly at them with the knives raised above her head." Officers used a Taser and bean bags before one officer shot and killed her.
