How they died
Deadly force
Cruz drew a "realistic-looking pellet handgun" in front of two officers, knocked one down, and threatened the other before the second officer fired six rounds at him in self-defense. Two of the six struck Cruz. The officers were not only vindicated but awarded a Medal of Valor for the incident.
