Wayne Shawpell Grant

How they died

Deadly force

Grant ran a red light and fled from an attempted traffic stop, perhaps because of his two outstanding misdemeanor warrants. In the course of trying to stop him three local officers had their police cruiser rammed and shot Grant as he drove by. He crashed into a tree and died shortly thereafter. Two of the officers were fired, and the third resigned, for disobeying orders to suspend the chase.
