How they died
Deadly force
Irons had been staying in an Over-the-Rhine homeless shelter when he went into the Pleasant Ridge IGA supermarket and allegedly stole deodorant and shaving cream. Rather than surrender to officers who caught up with him, he struggled, police said. Irons grabbed a sergeant's gun and shot Officer Tim Pappas in the hand. Another officer, Frederick Gilmer, shot and killed him.
