How they died

Deadly force

An officer, in plainclothes, visited a nightclub. The owner of the nightclub was arguing with two patrons. The officer intervened. A red Lincoln drove to the scene. A patron grabbed a gun from the Lincoln and shot at the officer. The officer shot back, wounding him. Sanchez, the second patron, dove into the Lincoln and began searching for something. The officer shot him fatally in the belly. A TEC-9 was found at the scene. Sanchez was partly disabled. The officer had served for 13 years.
