How they died
Deadly force
About 10 p.m., a Kings County deputy saw a car that matched a other mentioned in an officer safety bulletin put out by the Fresno County Sheriff's Office. When the deputy tried to stop the car, it sped away, and officers from the Avenal Police Department and the California Highway Patrol along with a helicopter pursued. Morris stopped the car and ran and tried to hide in a field. Four deputies approached Morris, and reportedly ordered him to show his hands. A sheriff's dog was sicced on him, but he rolled to his side and reportedly pointed a handgun at a deputy. Another deputy shot and killed him.
