How they died
Deadly force
Joseph Cleary, a 22-year-old from Rochester, N.H., was shot and killed by Deputy Michael Tamulionis after he pulled out a gun and pointed it at another deputy. Cleary was a fugitive considered armed and dangerous for violating probation and bail conditions after pleading guilty to first-degree assault in 2008. Lee County Sheriff's Office deputies responded with U.S. Marshals on a warrant for Cleary. They found him in the garage of a home in Cape Coral. Cleary ran inside the house and into a bedroom. He appeared to be turning and went toward the ground then pulled out a handgun and aimed it at K-9 Deputy Travis Deal.
