How they died
Deadly force
Two officers shot and killed Mark Alan Palmateer when he allegedly came at them with an ax and barbecue fork inside St. Marcus Cemetery. Officers were first called to Palmateer's house by his wife and a suicide hotline. Police said they found Palmateer at about 11:30 p.m. going into the cemetery with a short-handled ax in one hand and a barbecue fork in the other. Both officers opened fire when Palmateer allegedly charged at them after they shined a spotlight on him.
