How they died

Deadly force

Deputies were dispatched to a house in connection with a "medical emergency." Family members of Danny Thomas said he was drunk and could be belligerent. They found Thomas inside at the kitchen table with two handguns. A dead woman was on the sofa. Deputy Hill said that Thomas picked up one of the guns, and Hill shot him in the chest. Thomas died five days later. Police were never able to interview Thomas, according to Gaffney Ledger story. Thomas's wife apparently had been dead in the house for a couple of days.
