How they died
Deadly force
Police shot and killed James N. Hayes after he allegedly tried to force an officer off a second-floor balcony by igniting aerosol spray with a lighter. Police responded at around 6:15 a.m. after Hayes' wife reported that he was intoxicated and threatening to blow up their building. Hayes barricaded himself inside his condo, turned on gas appliances and distributed combustible substances in the building, police said. Officers tried to evacuate the building, and Hayes allegedly tried to burn them with a makeshift flamethrower, then went to his balcony to confront the officer who had climbed up a ladder.
