How they died
Deadly force
Police shot Harold Bobbitt after he allegedly pointed a gun at them. At about 3:40 p.m., three undercover officers saw Bobbitt, who was reportedly wanted on assault and unlawful use of weapon charges, in a Ford Crown Victoria near Labadie and Lambdin avenues. The officers threw down spike strips to stop the car, but Bobbitt drove over the strips and continued on four flat tires. Bobbitt got out of the car at Marcus and St. Louis, ran through a gangway, and then allegedly turned and pointed a gun at the officers, who shot him several times. He died at the scene.
