How they died
Deadly force
Police were patrolling near the Columbia Park area when they came across two men at around 11:45 p.m. One of the men, Gordon L. Whitaker, attempted to run and a police officer tackled him from behind. At the same time, the other police officer allegedly saw Whitaker pull out a handgun and shot Whitaker five times, killing him. Whitaker's DNA reportedly was found on the handgun, which was not used. Shooting was ruled justified.
