How they died

Deadly force

Erik Scott, a West Point graduate who Las Vegas police confronted outside the Summerlin Costco after receiving reports that Scott had been causing a disturbance inside the crowded store. Scott, who reportedly had morphine and Xanax in his system at the time of the incident, reached for a gun when officers ordered him to get on the ground outside the store. At that point, officers fired their weapons.
