Gerard Chapdelaine

How they died

Deadly force

The attendant of a convenience store called the police on a customer who appeared to have blood on his face and hands. Three police officers intercepted this customer, Chapdelaine, walking southbound from the store. On the officers' arrival the suspect pulled a pistol and began firing. The police returned fire, striking Chapdelaine three times and killing him. He was subsequently tied to the shooting death of his girlfriend's mother earlier that evening.
