Cause of Death
Deadly force
Callahan's brother called 911 to report a possible suspicious person inside their house. While checking the house, officers fired blindly through doors and walls and fatally struck the unarmed Callahan three times. Their behavior, the detention of family members, and the delay in getting medical attention to the victim (while the uninjured officers were rushed to the hospital) were grounds for the family's wrongful death suit against the county and eight officers.
