How they died
Deadly force
Hanson, described by the police as a white supremacist and who'd served time on a hate-crime charge, stalemated with police alone in a grocery store. After a brief gun battle in the parking lot, he entered the store, ordered customers and employees out, and barricaded himself inside. Fourteen hours later he was fatally shot as officers stormed the building.
