How they died
Deadly force
Off-duty officer Louis Anderson was babysitting 4-year-old Kenneth Thomas and three other children. Kenneth reportedly found Anderson's department-issued Glock handgun under a bed, and then shot himself while playing with it. Police said Anderson was in another room when he heard a loud blast and found Kenneth on the floor with a gunshot wound to the head just after midnight. Anderson, who retired from the department after the shooting, pleaded no contest to involuntary manslaughter, and was sentenced to probation and ordered to attend Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.
