How they died

Deadly force

Police said they were responding to a disturbance when they encountered Anderson, who allegedly refused to drop a box cutter. Police said they tried to shock him with a Taser two times before resorting to deadly force. Anderson's mother disputes the police account and says officers never attempted to use a Taser.
