Terrozza Tyree Griffin

How they died

Deadly force

Lansing Police officers responded to a report of a home invasion in progress. When officers arrived, they established a perimeter around the house, and confirmed that a male suspect was inside. Officers talked to the man in the home for almost two hours, until a fire was seen inside the house. Officers entered the residence, and shots were fired at the officers. A short time later, they encountered the accused male suspect and he challenged them with a gun. Sgt. Kevin Schlagel, Officer Walter Kim and Officer Ryan Hackenberg shot and killed him.
