Deadly force
An officer shot Bradley J. Spiker several times when he allegedly reached for a 9 mm pistol from his waistband. At around 11:45 p.m., Spiker was reportedly acting unruly in the parking lot outside the Caseyville Inn, a bar on North 89th Street. According to police, officers had tried to subdue Spiker with a Taser before one officer opened fire, but weren't successful. Spiker was pronounced dead at a hospital.
