How they died
Deadly force
Dwayne Novak allegedly confronted two Portland officers and a Multnomah County Sheriff's Deputy with a knife on March 12. The police were called to a motor home in Scappoose by a 14-year old who had witnessed Novak assaulting her grandmother, Norma Murff, 74. Novak apparently killed Murff and was ransacking the house when the three officers all shot him (Oregonian, March 14-15, and PPB).
