Chad Irwin

How they died

Deadly force

Sacramento County sheriff's deputies responded to a domestic violence call. Deputies spoke with the woman who had made the call. A man who was involved in the incident was not there when deputies arrived. Deputies had been at the residence about half an hour, when the man returned and confronted them on the street with an "edged" weapon. One of the deputies shot and killed him.
