Thomas L. White

How they died

Deadly force

Coeur d'Alene Police Department were called for a report of a domestic disturbance. When the troopers found White in the backyard of a neighbor's home, he climbed onto the second-floor deck. The officers saw the suspect was holding a gun, and White ignored officers' commands to drop the gun and come down from the deck. That's when White pointed the gun at the officers, according to police. After the suspect again refused again to put the gun down, "mutual exchanges of shots were fired" and White was killed.
