Deadly force
An off-duty officer shot and killed Torin Shields in the parking lot of the Flamingo Lounge after he allegedly pointed a gun and said, "Do me or I'll do you." According to police, the officer was at the lounge just before 9 p.m. when an employee ran inside and told him he'd been robbed. The officer went outside to the parking lot, where Shields, who was sitting in a pickup truck, allegedly told the officer to shoot him.
