How they died
Deadly force
Police shot Edward Irons as he fled a traffic stop on foot. Officers had attempted to stop Irons' car, which was reportedly driving the wrong way down a one-way street at 10:30 p.m. Irons lost control of his car and crashed into a fence. He allegedly jumped from the car, flashed a gun with an extended clip, then fired at police. Officers returned fire and Irons took off running. While fleeing, Irons was hit at least once by one of 5 officers who shot at him. Police found Irons in the street, where he was pronounced dead.
