How they died

Deadly force

Officers were responding to a domestic violence call by Compo's wife, who had ran to a nearby church to contact police. Compo's wife directed police back to her home where police set up a perimeter to try and get Compo to come out of the house. Compo was uncooperative and when he raised his rifle as if he were about to shot, the police started firing. Compo was pronounced dead at the scene.
