How they died

Deadly force

An officer shot Kevin J. Osborne after he allegedly pointed a gun at him and squeezed the trigger. Police had responded to a report of a man in dark clothing placing his ear to apartment doors. An officer saw Osborne, who police said matched the description. Osborne ran when the officer tried to stop him. The officer shot Osborne four times after he reportedly attempted to fire his gun. According to police, Osborne's gun contained six rounds, but none in the chamber, so it wouldn't fire.
