How they died
Deadly force
About 2:40 a.m., Dustin Robert Pigeon called 911 and told a dispatcher he was going to kill himself. Responding police found Pigeon holding a bottle of lighter fluid in his left hand and a lighter in his right hand. As officers approached, he began pouring the lighter fluid on himself and tried to light the lighter as officers ordered him to the ground. Pigeon reportedly ignored the commands, and Officer Troy Nitzky fired a single round from his bean bag shotgun. Sgt. Keith Sweeney then shot and killed Pigeon. Sweeney was later convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to 10 years in prison.
