Fred A. Madkins

Deadly force

An officer shot Fred Madkins when he allegedly fired a pistol at him. According to police, Madkins had been at a nightclub, where he had waved a gun at security guards. When officers later tried to pull him over at around 2 a.m., Madkins sped away and crashed his car into a light pole. A police video reportedly showed that Madkins pointed a gun at an officer and fired at least twice before the officer fired back. A Jackson County grand jury declined to bring charges against the officer.
