How they died
Deadly force
In and out of jail and mental hospitals all his life, according to his own sister, Pitts seemed geared up for some kind of finale. He shot and wounded three motorists who tried to come to his aid on the roadside, then shot and wounded a state trooper in a nine-hour overnight shooting spree, before being killed in a firefight with SWAT members.
