How they died
Deadly force
Tucson police Officers Erik Morales and Eric Coutts reportedly saw Paul Albrecht Jr. make a U-turn during a red light. Coutts was on the passenger side talking to Matthew, police said. As Matthew Albrecht got out of the car at Coutts' request, he grabbed Coutts and pointed a gun at him. Morales, who was on the driver's side, shot at Matthew. Matthew fell to the ground. Morales then moved to the passenger side and both officers commanded Matthew to drop his gun, but he turned and pointed it at them. Each officer then fired one round, killing Albrecht.
