Brian Wood

Deadly force

Wood, a part-time firefighter, called 911 and falsely claimed that he beat and raped his wife. Wood got in a pickup outside his Farmington home with two pistols, firing one after officers arrived at the home. After two hours, officers used tear gas to force Wood out of the car, where he waited for several more hours. Officers used foam batons, pepper balls, flash-bangs and Tasers to get him to drop the gun. Dep. Joshua Boucher shot Wood when he allegedly pointed the gun at officers.
