Robert Allen “Bo” Hansen Jr.

Deadly force

Police went to the Hansen home after receiving reports that Robert Hansen was beating his father. In her 911 call, Hansen's mother, Debi, stressed that her son was mentally ill and very large, weighing in excess of 300 pounds. When the officers arrived, Robert Hansen was on the porch, talking incoherently. At some point, her son approached the officers and tackled one of them as his mother and father tried to pull him away. The accompanying officer shot him from close range.
