How they died
Deadly force
Two borough police officers stopped a blue Pontiac G6 for an expired registration and suspended insurance. Officers attempted to handcuff Christopher A. Kanouff, but he fled on foot, pulling a handgun from his waistband as he ran. Kanouff pointed the handgun twice at pursuing officers before he barricaded in his nearby apartment. A perimeter was formed and a Special Emergency Response Team called. After Kanouff threatened to shoot passersby, police deployed tear gas. Kanouff broke into the next door apartment. Police deployed tear gas again, and Kanouff came out the front brandishing a handgun. A SERT officer shot and killed him.
