How they died
Deadly force
A standoff began after 1 p.m. when a woman reported that her son, Brian Keith Batten, had tried to take her other. Two Roane County deputies and DNR officer John Apgar responded, and said they found Batten on top of a rock embankment behind his mother's mobile home making threats. Police said Batten hid in the woods. State police brought in a helicopter and a Special Response Team and negotiated with Batten using a cell phone. Troopers shot Batten after he pointed his gun at officers who went into the woods to arrest him.
