Deadly force

Police were summoned to check on an intoxicated individual threatening suicide. When officers arrived, they found Shipley seated in a chair on the patio outside his apartment, police said. Officers Jeremy Sterling, Sean McKenna and Steven Norton approached Shipley. Shipley almost immediately picked up a handgun that was lying nearby. Despite repeated commands from Sterling, McKenna and Norton, Shipley pointed the gun at them and was shot and killed.
