Anthony A. Walker

Deadly force

When Columbia Officer Michael Bailey arrived at an apartment where a domestic assault had been reported in progress, a child in the home asked him to "save my mommy," according to a solicitor's summary. Bailey saw Anthony Walker punching a naked woman while kneeling on her throat. Bailey drew his gun and ordered Walker to stop. Walker instead advanced on Bailey and tried to grab his gun. Bailey "placed his finder on the trigger of the gun in order to get a stronger grip on the weapon" and unintentionally shot Walker, fatally wounding him.
