How they died
Deadly force
Three CHP officers confronted Carrick Vigen at a rural gas station after his mother called 911 for help. She allegedly said her son had bipolar disorder and claimed he had a gun, so she told police that her son was armed. Carrick reportedly told his brother that he wanted to force a shootout with police. He reportedly was shot 55 times even though he was unarmed. Police said it was suicide by police.
