How they died
Deadly force
Popular, well-liked athlete Thompson encountered police while sitting in a credit union parking lot armed with "a long rifle and a high-capacity magazine capable of holding up to 50 rounds of ammunition". He put three holes in a police cruiser and directly threatened officers before they responded with live fire, killing him. Not to be confused with the Christopher Thompson killed in a Jacksonville police chase on Nov. 23, 2011.
