How they died
Deadly force
A group of police officers opened fire with assault rifles and a shotgun, shooting at an unarmed family walking on the east side of the Danziger Bridge. A fter shooting at the Bartholomew family and James Brissette, officers traveled to the other side of the bridge to chase two men--brothers Lance and Ronald Madison--who had run away when the shooting started. Officers caught up to the Madisons on the west side of the bridge, where Officer Faulcon used a shotgun to shoot Ronald Madison in the back as Madison was running away. Ronald, a 40-year-old man with severe mental and physical disabilities, died near the base of the bridge.
