Marvin Stamps

Deadly force

At about 7 a.m., police responded to a domestic dispute between a woman and her on-again off-again boyfriend, Marvin Stamps. Once police arrived at the house, Stamps reportedly tried to escape, shooting Officer Jerry Shoulders as he ran. Shoulders was wearing a bulletproof vest and was uninjured. About two hours later, officers found Stamps hiding in a nearby shed. They say he began firing, and they returned fire. Stamps was killed, though it's not clear if the fatal shot was self-inflicted or if it came from an officer's gun.
