How they died
Deadly force
A police cruiser attempted to stop Olson at 11:14 p.m. after seeing his Jeep Compass speeding on Route 1. During a chase, Olson allegedly slammed on the brakes and veered in front of the police cruiser, causing a collision. The cruiser ended up in front of the Jeep, and Olson rammed the rear of the police car several times, police said. Both cars eventually stopped at an intersection. Olson got out of the Jeep brandishing a knife. He was shot and killed by Officers Frank Lombardo, 40, and Sean Roberts, 29.
