How they died

Deadly force

In the early stages of a four-hour hostage standoff at a Woodbury Red Roof Inn, police shot and killed Henderson, who they mistakenly believed had fired at them as he fled the motel room at the center of the standoff. The shots, according to the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, had been fired at Henderson by Demetrius Ballinger, the Maplewood man who had been holding Henderson and 10 others hostage in the room.
