How they died
Deadly force
Officers encountered Darrien Walker in an intersection with a 32-inch sword. The officers got out of their car, and Walker began to run toward them, swinging the sword. Walker refused repeated orders to drop the weapon. Officers tasered him, but Walker was wearing a vest and the darts didn't stick. Walker threw an 8-inch dagger that struck one officer in the face. The other officer shot Walker once. Walker jumped into the empty police cruiser, but a civilian witness blocked the cruiser with his car, and officers were able to subdue Walker. Walker was pronounced dead at the hospital.
