Daniel J. Rice Jr.

How they died

Deadly force

Rice was shot to death by Bowling Green police Officer Allen Baer after leading police on a chase that ended in the hospital's emergency department. There, Rice indicated he had a weapon and threatened to kill people. A state trooper at the scene tried to immobilize him with a stun gun. When that failed, Rice repeated his threat to kill someone and reached toward his waistband. Officer Baer then fired, hitting him once in the chest, killing him.
