How they died
Deadly force
Tony Anderson was shot and killed by police as he was standing in the doorway of the home where he grew up--holding a revolver in his hand--when officers arrived. The officers ordered Tony Anderson to drop the gun. Anderson then tossed it toward the police, but his movement apparently spurred two officers to fire nine shots before the gun landed at the feet of one officer. Anderson was hit twice in the chest.
