Deadly force

Police received a 911 call from someone who reported that an armed man was sitting in a white Ford Bronco at the Chevron station. The caller, who was on a pay phone, said the man had backed into a parking spot in front of the station's convenience store and had been sitting there for 15 minutes, police said. Although details remain sketchy, the armed man apparently was shot after he refused to comply with officers' demands, police said.
