Deadly force

A standoff began at around 9 a.m. after U.S. Marshals arrived at Matthew Krause's home to serve an arrest warrant for cocaine possession. Krause reportedly holed up in a bedroom closet with a .38 revolver, and the Marshals called local police. The Redford SWAT team took up positions in the house, and Sgt. Duane Gregg negotiated with Krause from the hallway outside the open bedroom door. Around 6:30 p.m., police said a a pole camera showed that Krause seemed to be sleeping in the closet, so they decided to enter the bedroom. Sgt. Nick Lentine rolled a flash bang into the room at the same time officer Brian D. Jones entered. Officer Butler and Lt. Eric Gillman followed. Krause allegedly fired a shot toward the doorway. Jones shot Krause 20 times (the gun was set to automatic), killing him.
