How they died

Deadly force

A neighbor called 911 to report a fire at the home of Spencer's girlfriend. Officers pursued Spencer, whose car crashed. Vehicles driven by officers Dombkowski and Webb then stopped behind Spencer's car. Lafayette police said Spencer then jumped out, ran toward Dombkowski and stabbed him in the cheek--prompting Webb and Fisher to fire their duty weapons. They fired 10 shots, 7 of which hit or grazed Spencer.
