How they died
Deadly force
Officers reported that they responded to a call about a screaming man, and went into his home. Then they said that he refused their orders, they tased him unsuccessfully, and he stabbed one of the officers with a sharp cane. Then an officer shot Shephard to death. The police later changed the story that the officer had been hit, and not stabbed by the cane.
