How they died
Deadly force
Duke hospital officials asked Dorsey to stop panhandling in front of their ICU entrance and leave. He refused. In the resulting 1 a.m. scuffle with two university officers Dorsey is said to have reached for one of their guns. He was shot to death. Duke police are sworn officers but serve under the authority of no public official, a controversial situation.
