Howard Michael Carl Partee

Deadly force

A probation check turned into an extended armed standoff when police called out on a different matter investigated the smell of marijuana. Partee, with a relatively minor criminal record, shot and wounded a "gang officer" in the face when the officer entered Partee's attic hiding place. Police shot in tear gas and a search robot to find, 13 hours later, Partee dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
