How they died
Deadly force
Nichols called 911 around 10 p.m., threatening to begin shooting near Preston Smith Elementary School and demanding that officers confront him as soon as possible. When officers arrived, they found Nichols armed with a knife. He began to cross a street toward officers. Officers sent a police dog to subdue Nichols, and ordered him to surrender. Nichols dodged the dog, then rushed at officers. Officer Norris Roberson fatally shot him.
