How they died
Deadly force
Three officers surrounded a house where a kidnapping had falsely been alleged. They chased four people who left the building. Officer Brian Rowden chased James Harper, trying to subdue him three times as they jumped over three fences. Rowden lost his handcuffs when Harper escaped during the second fight. The two jumped a third fence and grappled at a corral, where Harper said, "You're gonna have to kill me." Rowden broke away, drew his weapon and fatally shot Harper, who was unarmed.
