Christopher Fagan

Less-than-lethal force

Around 11 p.m., a deputy responding to a suicide in progress followed Fagan as he walked away from his house. A second deputy arrived, telling the first that Fagan had a knife. The first deputy told Fagan, still facing away, to show his hands or be shot with a stun gun. Fagan ignored him. The deputy stunned Fagan once. Fagan either stabbed himself or fell on his knife when struck by stun gun probes. He died at Memorial Hermann Medical Center at 2:40 a.m.
