Christopher Dubois

Deadly force

Officers tried to talk down Christopher Dubois, who allegedly had a handgun and was standing in the middle of South Federal Boulevard with a Chihuahua following at his heels. Several times, Dubois put the handgun to his head and officers fired a less-lethal round bean-bag projectile. The gunman turned and ran toward a neighbor's house as police pursued him, eventually shooting and killing Dubois. Later it was discovered that Dubois' handgun, though real, was unloaded and missing its firing pin, rendering it inoperable.
