Andrew Lance Thomason

How they died

Deadly force

Thomason fired a shot at state patrol troopers who were trying to execute a search warrant at the man's residence, where he had holed up in a back room of the ground-floor apartment. Despite hours of telephone conversations with a patrol crisis negotiator and pleas by relatives for Thomason to give himself up, the man fatally shot himself in the head, police said.
