How they died
Deadly force
Police responding to a 911 call were told by Donald Babbit's wife that he was "behaving erratically" and had access to weapons. Police formed a perimeter around Babbit's home and used a public address system to talk to him. When Babbit came outside, he was armed with a handgun, and walked toward the officers waving the gun and pointing the weapon at one officer. Officers reportedly ordered Babbit to drop his weapon. Three officers–two from Shaler Township and one from Hampton Township–shot and killed him.
