Glenn C. Pearson

Deadly force

Pearson called authorities Sunday night and told them he had shot his mother and that he would shoot the first officer to respond. When deputies arrived at the home, he emerged from the house with a large, bloody kitchen knife in one hand and a black mobile phone in the other, police said. Pearson pointed the mobile phone at deputies in a manner that suggested he might have a gun and a SWAT team member shot Pearson in the head, killing him.
