Deadly force

McLeod was an Army veteran with heavy combat experience in Afghanistan. Police were called to McLeod's apartment, where he and an Army buddy had been drinking then fighting. McLeod's friend told police McLeod had stabbed him. McLeod came out carrying a shotgun. When he pointed it at police, a deputy opened fire, killing him. McLeod's friends believe he suffered from PTSD. His family requested and was denied a special coroner's inquest.
