How they died
Deadly force
Two officers shot Aaron King after he allegedly fired at them during a foot chase. At about 7 p.m., police responded to a report of suspicious men outside the St. Louis Super Market and saw two men take off running in different directions as they arrived. The officers chased one of the men (King) to just off the store's parking lot, where he allegedly turned, pulled a revolver from his waistband and fired one shot at one of the officers. Both officers fired several shots at King, killing him. No one else was injured. King's companion reportedly got away.
