How they died
Deadly force
A state trooper shot unarmed Scott M. Williford after he allegedly said he had a gun and stuck his hands in his waistband. At about 3 a.m., Williford was walking in the middle of the Noland Road overpass, carrying a bag. The trooper stopped and asked Williford what he was in the bag. Williford reportedly replied "drugs" and said he also had a 9-mm handgun. Williford then allegedly put his hands in his waistband in what the trooper claimed looked like a move to retrieve a gun. The trooper shot Williford, who died at the scene.
