How they died
Deadly force
On a Thursday evening local police responding to a domestic disturbance call were greeted by a woman with serious head wounds, then surprised by Edwards leaping out at them with a samurai-style long sword. Edwards was repeatedly ordered to put down the sword but did not. Other jurisdictions responded, including a state trooper, and Edwards was shot to death.
