Deadly force

Police said officer David Foster went to the apartment after a man called 911 and said, "Some guys are getting ready to come in my apartment and jump me. They're right behind me." The caller then disconnected. When Foster knocked on the door, it swung open abruptly, and the officer saw a man pointing a handgun at two other men inside the apartment. Foster ordered him to drop the weapon. The man hit one of the others in the head with the weapon. Again, Foster ordered the man to drop the gun, but instead he turned and pointed the gun at Foster, at which point, Foster shot and killed him.
