Vasilios Alexander Katsouras

How they died

Deadly force

An older woman called 911 reporting that an unknown person was in her backyard pounding on a sliding glass door, police said. When two officers responded to the home they found the man in the backyard "armed with a claw-style garden tool that had three steel spikes." The officers ordered the man to drop the weapon, but he did not comply and instead charged the officers with the weapon. He was shot and killed.
