How they died
Less-than-lethal force
Avery held police at bay for several hours, firing at and taunting them as fire destroyed the house in which he was holed up, the Darke County sheriff said. Once the fire intensified, however, Sheriff Spencer told the Rossburg Fire Department "to let it burn" to flush out Avery. He didn't flush out.
