How they died
Deadly force
A woman went to the police to report domestic violence by her fiance. When police went to the home, the man refused to exit the house. The SWAT team was called. Police tossed tear gas into the back of the home in order to force the man to leave the house through the front door. After the man refused to obey police commands, a Taser was used on the man, and when that failed to deter him, they tried bean bags, but the man continued toward police with a butcher knife, and he was shot and killed.
