Deadly force

At 8:30 p.m. June 6, Karen Shaw called Gilbert police for help in locating her 40-year-old son. Jeffrey Shaw had not slept for days and had just been released from St. Luke's Behavioral Health Center, where he was being treated for depression and anxiety. Chandler Police spotted Jeffrey Shaw's silver Ford F-150 and pursued but were unsuccessful in stopping the other. At the intersection of Pecos and Ellsworth roads in Mesa, Shaw lost control of his truck at the intersection and crashed. Jeffrey reportedly was hanging outside of the truck's driver's side window, and two DPS troopers shot him. Shortly after the shooting, a Mesa K-9 officer sicced his police dog on him, ripping and chewing through Jeffrey's bicep tendon and biting into Jeffrey's stomach before attempting to drag Jeffrey away from the truck. Shaw died on June 30.
