Two officers shot Antoine Lavender when he allegedly pointed a shotgun at them after a holdup at a US Bank branch. At around 9:30 a.m., Lavender reportedly robbed the bank while pressing a sawed-off shotgun into a bank guard's back. A passer-by flagged down the officers after seeing Lavender go inside with a gun. The officers were waiting outside when he emerged, and shot him when he allegedly aimed the gun at them. Lavender's relatives said he had been depressed because he was unable to support his children.
