How they died
Deadly force
After a visit to a strip club and being the subject of a pre-dawn "man with a gun" call at his residence, criminal-justice major Briggs barricaded himself inside his house and began a three-hour armed standoff with police. He expended 58 shotgun rounds during the siege. A police trooper fatally shot him once in the neck.
