How they died
Deadly force
Two officers shot and killed Darryl Morris after he allegedly lunged at them with a pair of scissors. At around 11:40 p.m., officers tried to stop Morris' car at 51st Street and Agnes Avenue for erratic driving, but he continued north on US 71. At Front Street and Jackson Avenue, Morris reportedly stopped, got out of his car and charged at one of the officers with scissors. The officers shot Morris when he allegedly ignored repeated warnings to put the scissors down.
