How they died
Deadly force
Just before midnight, a person called 911 to report another person making threats toward the caller. An officer responded and encountered Henry Barnes Jr., who ran into the woods. Ten minutes later, Barnes emerged from the woods brandishing a crowbar. An officer followed Barnes into a trailer and tasered him to no effect. Barnes allegedly raised the crowbar over his head and threatened to kill the officer, who shot and killed Barnes.
