How they died
Deadly force
A Roanoke County officer tried to stop a truck for speeding on Franklin Road. Sword, the driver, led police on a pursuit. As the chase neared the Franklin County line, a second county officer and two deputies with the Franklin County Sheriff's Office joined the pursuit. Abruptly, Micah Sword stopped the truck on the highway, stepped out and fired more than two dozen rounds at the officers from a rifle. Roanoke County Officers Shaun Chuyka and Spencer Lewis and Franklin County Sheriff's Deputy Brian Garland shot and killed Sword.
