How they died
Deadly force
Gail Cole followed closely behind her husband as he walked along North Detroit Avenue, explaining to a 911 operator that he had a gun and threatened to harm her and himself, police said. Police officers approached Allen Cole, and a sergeant and two officers tried for more than five minutes to get Cole to put down his gun. At one point, he pointed the weapon toward his chest. Cole pulled a second gun from his waistband, pointed it toward the officers, and was shot and killed.
