How they died
Deadly force
A suspicious person call led Las Vegas police to an area near the campus of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, where they confronted Daechull Chung, 37, who came at an officer with a pair of knives. A rookie officer and a two-year veteran shot and killed him. Questions were later raised about whether Chung was lying on the ground when he was shot a second and third time.
