How they died

Deadly force

Officers report that they responded to a call from Coronel saying that he had stabbed himself. When they arrived, he claimed to have a gun, went into his house, and came out with a knife. He tried to get into a neighbor's house, and officers tasered and shot him with a stun bag gun, but Coronel ran toward an officer with the knife, and the officer shot him several times.
