Bobby Wallace

Deadly force

Shreveport police responding to a domestic disturbance involving gunfire encountered Bobby Wallace as he walked across the street toward them. Wallace had allegedly been beating his grandfather and suffered a stroke, and the officer did not cuff him. Wallace said he knew his life was coming to an end and suddenly punched the officer twice in the face. The officer's partner shot Wallace with a bean bag round to no effect, then shot Wallace three times, killing him. Grand jury chose to file no charges against the officers.
