How they died
Deadly force
Troopers went to a house about 10 a.m. to conduct a welfare check on a man acting erratically. As troopers talked to Joey Hoffman, he began to act strangely, calling them names and claiming the property was booby trapped. Hoffman went into a garage and refused the troopers' orders to come out. When troopers approached the garage, Hoffman appeared in the doorway and pointed a laser sighted handgun at them, and they shot and killed him. Hoffman had a history of mental illness and had lost his job due to coronavirus.
