Marc A. Leber

Deadly force

Globe police responded to a report of a suicidal subject at a motel. Police said the caller was Leber, who wanted an officer sent to his motel room regarding a body. When officers arrived, they found Leber's motel room door open and a suicide note inside. About that time, a motel employee identified a man driving by the room as Leber. Two Globe police officers and a Gila County sheriff's deputy followed Leber about a quarter mile away from the motel and pulled the BIA agent over. He brandished his weapon toward the sheriff's deputy and all three officers shot, killing Leber.
