Deadly force

Police said Sgt. Aaron Zaltzman responded around noon to a report that Larry Collins had beaten his girlfriend's teenaged daughter during an argument. While driving to the scene, Zaltzman reportedly came upon the girl walking through woods toward the road. Zaltzman told her to get in the back of his car. According to police, Collins saw them drive up to the trailer, went inside and came out about 30 seconds later with a handgun. Zaltzman told the girl to get down in the back seat. He got out, took cover behind the car and told Collins to put the gun down. Zaltzman shot Collins twice when he allegedly aimed the gun at him. Collins was dead on arrival at the hospital.
