How they died
Deadly force
Troopers attempted to stop a car for failing to use a turn signal. Perdue was in the driver's seat with a 20-year-old woman in the passenger seat. The car didn't stop as directed by police. Instead, Perdue accelerated and headed eastbound on the Richardson Highway before turning onto Badger Road. During the chase, Perdue and the woman both leaned out the car's windows to shoot at police. The chase finally came to an end when the car went into a ditch when the driver tried to avoid hitting a tire deflation device set up by police. But when Perdue and the woman passed Fairbanks police and troopers, striking a police other, four troopers, and one police officer fired their guns at them.
