How they died
Deadly force
Police had been receiving reports that the armed man--who was wearing a kilt, combat-style boots and no shirt--had been wandering in other parts of downtown and Shockoe Slip. When officers encountered the man, they ordered him to drop his weapons. Police used a Taser, but when that was not effective, two officers shot and killed him.
