How they died
Deadly force
Two bail bondsmen from ABC Bail Bond service went to the house after Dennis missed a court appearance. When they went to his house, he slammed the door on them and said he had a gun and would kill himself. Police were called, and a SWAT team surrounded the house. In the coming hours, Dennis spoke repeatedly with police. Occasional gunshots were heard from the house. When negotiators could no longer get a response from Dennis, police entered the house and found him dead.
