Gerard John

Deadly force

Police encountered Gerard John and Ray Jim around 11.55 pm in a motel parking lot where they'd allegedly been brandishing a gun. The pair fled in a pickup truck and police pursued as one of the men threw objects such as cinder blocks and a bicycle at police. One officer fired a shotgun at the pair as their pickup was speeding the wrong way on Interstate 40. About one minute later, the pickup crashed head-on into a big rig and John and Jim were killed.
