How they died
Deadly force
A TPD informer purchased approx. $160 of marijuana from Westcott over 4 mo., reporting that he carried a gun. SWAT was deployed for search warrant, and when officers opened the door to Westcott's bedroom, they found him on the other side with a loaded, 9mm Taurus Slim pistol. He was immediately shot by two officers as he was "raising his weapon," initially in his right shoulder. The search yielded only 0.2 grams--or about $2 worth--of pot.
