Brian Garber

Deadly force

Garber became involved in a domestic incident with his estranged wife while having an adverse reaction to an antidepressant he had been prescribed. He left the scene before police arrived and eventually returned to his parents' home, where he was living. He sent a text to his wife that he had a gun and was going to kill her. Police arrived, rushed into his bedroom without any attempt to talk to him and reportedly fired 16 shots, 14 of which hit Garber, killing him. No gun was found.
