How they died
Deadly force
Police shot Chad E. Seymour in the back when he allegedly charged at officers with a grenade during a standoff. At about 11:20 p.m, police responded to a domestic disturbance at a duplex. Seymour reportedly ran into the backyard, held up a grenade and threatened to detonate it. Negotiators tried to persuade Seymour to surrender until around 3:30 a.m., when he allegedly charged at officers and was shot. Seymour fell on top of the grenade. Police sent in a robot to retrieve the grenade, fearing it might detonate (it did after the robot rolled Seymour's body off it). Police said the grenade's pin had been pulled.
