How they died
Deadly force
Six officers showed up and formed a perimeter around the neighborhood. They spoke with the man for about ten minutes while they waited for a negotiator to arrive. But, before that happened, police say Monge pointed the shotgun at them. All six officers opened fire, killing him in front of the home. Witnesses describe the incident as "suicide-by-cop." Monge's roommates say he had been depressed over the last couple of days.
