Deadly force

Two guests who were in the motel pool area reported seeing a man pointing a rifle out the window of a room several floors above the pool, police said. Officers located the the room and began giving commands for the people to come out. A man and a woman came out. The woman was arrested without a struggle. Officers then began giving commands to the man, but he was unable to comply with confusing orders. He reached back apparently to pull up his pants, and he was shot and killed by Officer Philip Mitchell Brailsford, 27. The gun was apparently a pellet gun he used in his job of pest control.
