Richard Redmond

How they died

Deadly force

On reports that Redmond was brandishing a gun and had threatened a neighbor, state troopers responded to the home of the terminally ill former California Highway Patrol officer. Redmond refused to give up his gun, threatened to barricade himself and his wife inside, and after a six-hour standoff finally pointed the weapon at troopers. He was fatally shot once.
