How they died
Deadly force
Police responded to reports of a man making verbal and non-verbal threats to find Daniel Johnston, 315 lbs and dressed in black, armed with a medieval two-bladed battle-axe and a knife. After a confrontation where Johnston refused to drop his weapon and reportedly charged at the officers with the ax raised above his head, one of the six responding officers shot him three times.
