How they died
Deadly force
With a history of mental problems and reportedly off his medication, Baker was at first calm when entering Ventura's Community Memorial Hospital, but something set him off. He stabbed three hospital employees, inflicting minor wounds, and was threatening and uncooperative with police. Ultimately 15 officers converged on the scene and Baker was shot to death.
