How they died
Deadly force
Police said a social club's alarm company received a call from inside the establishment asking that the alarm be shut off because the person inside didn't know the code. Rashaad Brookins was found hiding in an upstairs room. They said they ordered him to the ground, where the officer held him down. A fight began when the officer tried to handcuff the suspect. Police fired on the man after he drew a pair of knives and lunged toward the officers.
