How they died
Deadly force
High school student Scott led police on a 15- or 20-minute chase after they'd tried to pull him over on a traffic stop. He struck a semi at an intersection and emerged from the car. Police said he had a gun. Witnesses said he was shot in the back, unarmed, with his hands up. The shooter was found guilty of 1st-degree manslaughter and given four years in prison. One of the rare cases where an officer was indicted for a line-of-duty killing.
