How they died
Deadly force
On witnessing Lopez punch another student at a bus stop, a school-district officer chased after the unarmed 8th-grader contrary to his instructions, caught him in a nearby suburban back yard, and shot him to death. The officer's long history of discipline problems contributed to the city paying Lopez's family $925,000.
