Police officers had responded to the home of Richard Poccia on Nov. 28, 2010, when the 60-year-old nurse was in a state of mental health distress. Though Poccia told police on the phone that he would come out of his house unarmed, police escalated the situation by launching a "full-scale SWAT action." Officers shouted conflicting directions while pointing their guns at 60-year-old nurse. After Officer Brad Baker stunned Poccia with a Taser gun, Officer Nick Dalessi shot Poccia at close range in the back of the head with an assault rifle.
