How they died
Deadly force
Nasir Abdi was considered dangerous because he had stopped taking his psychiatric medication, so Franklin County deputy sheriffs were called to take him back to treatment. But their efforts ended tragically yesterday after Abdi refused to go and lunged at the deputies with a knife. Mace didn't stop him, and when he lunged again, one of the deputies shot and killed him.
