How they died

Deadly force

Las Vegas police officers were called to a home over a domestic dispute and saw a man pinning a woman against a bedroom wall while wielding scissors. The man, Alberto Castillo, would not drop the scissors, so one officer used a Taser on him. The Taser didn't work, and Castillo grabbed the stun gun and was shot by the other officer several times. Police have not released which officer fired.
