Lance L. Danielson

How they died

Deadly force

Police responded to a possible break-and-enter by 4 people at a condo. While the group allegedly talked to police, Lance Danielson reportedly said he didn't want to go back to prison and removed a handgun from his backpack. Officers "began to negotiate with him" and when he refused to put down his weapon, a SWAT team was called. They negotiated for about 3 hours until the "situation deteriorated" and they attempted to arrest him. "Gunfire was exchanged", two SWAT officers were shot, and Danielson was shot and killed.
