How they died

Deadly force

A police officer pulled over Christopher Kitts for talking on a cell phone while driving. Kitts, a fugitive from Texas, got out of his car and shot and wounded the officer. Kitts drove away but soon ditched the car and fled on foot through the forest, armed with a rifle and a handgun. Multiple police agencies began searching for Kitts and were met with gunfire when they found him. Officers returned fire but Kitts managed to slip away in the darkness. At 4:30 a.m., the state patrol encountered Kitts behind a home and he opened fire on officers once again. The troopers shot and killed him.
