How they died
Deadly force
Chass was shot to death by deputies after he'd allegedly held his 6-year-old brother hostage with a pocketknife. He released the 6 yr old, was pepper sprayed by deputies, then started kicking one in the face and waving the knife. Deputies shot him seven times. The family received a $1.75 million settlement in 2009 for their allegations of civil rights violations, wrongful death, and excessive use of force.
