How they died

Deadly force

Two officers responded to Debevoise Ave. at Jackson St. in the Cooper Park Houses after receiving a pair of 911 calls--one reporting an emotionally disturbed man and the other a robbery at gunpoint, police said. Police spotted Johnson toting a .40-caliber semiautomatic handgun, and fitting the robbery suspect's description, police said. Johnson opened fire on the officers, who shot and killed him.
