Leonard Croskey

Deadly force

Croskey showed up at the home of his ex-girlfriend and held her at gunpoint, threatening to kill her and himself. She was able to talk him into leaving. Phoenix police caught up with him as he was attempting to drive away from his home. During a two-hour standoff, police negotiated with him as he held a gun to his head and threatened suicide. Croskey eventually got out of his car and fired on police. Two officers fired back and Croskey was shot and killed.
