How they died

Deadly force

911 dispatchers received a call that the Wachovia Bank had been robbed. Deputy Sgt. William B. Weeks was less than a block from the incident and caught up with the van a short time later. While Weeks was waiting for backup, Kenny pulled into the Texaco gas station. Kenny jumped out of the van with a handgun. The deputy told him to drop it and then shot and killed him.
