Deadly force
A Montgomery County Precinct 4 Constable's deputy was chasing a motorcycle after its plate allegedly came back "invalid." The motorcycle sped away around 1:30 p.m. Another Precinct 4 Constable's deputy spotted the motorcycle and tried to pull it over. The motorcyclist again sped off, but the deputy was able to keep up with him. He crashed in front of a gas station, then attempted to carjack a BMW sport utility other. The driver of the SUV struggled with the motorcyclist, and the deputy fired his stun gun. When the stun gun did not incapacitate the man, the deputy began to fight with the motorcyclist, who pulled a gun out of his backpack. The deputy shot and killed him, according to police.
