How they died
Deadly force
Around 10:15 p.m. Cpl. Chris Hall responded to a call about a man threatening Fire Rescue paramedics. Officials said that Hall arrived to find Jerome James 37 in his front yard wielding a metal thatching rake. The paramedics said that they had been called by James' father because James was having seizures. Other witnesses said he was drunk. Hall talked to James who refused to drop the rake. As James moved closer Hall tried to deploy his Taser. That angered James who ran at him with the rake raised over his head. The deputy fired hitting James twice in the chest. He died Sept. 13, 2014.
