How they died
Deadly force
Kyron Sands allegedly tried to break into a woman's house with a gun in Norwich. Police said when they tried to stop him, he shot at them, held up a driver and then fled. Police eventually shot Sands after he crashed into a tree and allegedly tried to break into another house. The investigation showed that Sands had dropped his gun, but that officers could not reasonably have known that when they shot and killed Sands. Sands had used his handgun against the police as he fled earlier. Family member said Sands was a paranoid schizophrenic who was off his medication and having a breakdown.
