How they died
Deadly force
Officers responded to serve Brooks an emergency custody order, and met a female family member at the door. An emergency custody order is secured when there is concern a person could harm themselves or someone else. Officers saw Brooks enter the house through the back door. He was armed with a .9mm handgun, and police say he shot one round inside the home. Brooks then came out of the house through the back door and kept firing the gun. He hit the female as she tried to run away and then fired at officers. Police shot and killed him.
