Deadly force
A 911 caller reported a domestic violence incident on behalf of Hector Miranda's mother. The caller's husband took Miranda's mother to the hospital, where she was treated for a head wound. Police learned from the 911 caller that Miranda was armed. He approached two officers, wielding a handgun and long knife, and failed to comply with orders for him to drop his weapons. Police shot and killed him.
