How they died
Deadly force
Officers Steven Bose and Jamie Sullivan responded at around 2:15 a.m. after Eric Rule's wife reported he was drunk and that she wanted him removed from their home. A struggle ensued in the driveway, where Bose said Rule punched him in the face, and they both fell to the ground when he tried to hip check Rule. Sullivan and Bose said they unsuccessfully tried to Taser Rule three times before Bose fired two shots, killing Rule. A lawsuit contended that Bose tried to tackle Rule without warning or provocation, and that after Bose grabbed Rule, the two fell to the ground, and Sullivan began punching Rule in the head.
