How they died

Deadly force

Around 9:30 a.m., a neighbor called police around 9 a.m. because a man was running around with an ax. The man hit several cars with the ax, shattering at least one window. He also allegedly hit one other person with the ax, but it did not resort in a serious injury. Officer Thomas Beasley told the man to drop the hatchet and stop coming toward him, but the man failed to do so, and Beasley shot and killed him.
