At Rest

Deadly force
Officers told Spencer several times to stop walking northbound on Electric Road, but he would not, according to police. Police say there were two attempts to tase Spencer, but neither were effective. The Roanoke County police chief says two officers then fired shots at Spencer after he turned toward them. A BB gun was still in Spencer's hand when he was shot.
