How they died

Deadly force

Detectives received information about a possible suspect in a recent armed robbery and had Corkery's home under surveillance when the suspect appeared. The detectives called in the SWAT team as they attempted to get Corkery out of the house using a PA system. He eventually came out of the house and appeared to have a gun in his left hand. While speaking with officers, Corkery made a threatening move, and officers opened fire. A weapon was recovered at the scene on the porch close to where Corkery was standing.
