How they died
Deadly force
Sgt. Craig Campbell and his partner, Officer Eric Harpster, pulled over Hamlin for a broken brake light. Police said he got out of the car and ran when Campbell tried to check him for weapons. Both officers fired their Taser stun guns, but neither was effective. Officer Harpster saw a gun in his hand. Hamlin fired at least one shot, police said. Harpster shot back. Of the estimated 12 to 15 shots fired by police, Hamlin was struck "many times" in the torso. A finger on Sgt. Campbell's left hand was shot off. It was unclear whether Campbell was injured by Hamlin or his partner.
