How they died
Deadly force
With an Airsoft gun painted black to resemble a Beretta handgun, Penley briefly kidnapped a fellow student in high school, then holed up in a bathroom. After 20 unproductive minutes talking to a police negotiator Penley was fatally shot in the head by a county sharpshooter. Subsequently, a judge threw out a suit brought by the family.
