Shane Whitworth

How they died

Deadly force

Police say they were dispatched to the residence after a woman called to report that her husband had locked himself in the bathroom and threatened to harm himself. Whitworth eventually left the house through the back door, armed with a handgun. He fired the gun once before hiding under a trampoline. He then got a ladder and climbed over the back fence. Once he got over the fence, still armed with a gun, officers fired at him.
