How they died
Deadly force
About 7 p.m., police were called to a Walmart store for a report of shoplifting. Once there, an officer took a woman--the girlfriend of Joseph Jesk, 32--into custody and put her in a squad car. The officer started to drive away, and Jesk got into his other and rear-ended the squad car, police said. Both men got out of their vehicles, and Jesk pointed a replica gun at the officer, who shot and killed Jesk.
