Hamm entered a bar and told patrons to leave, brandishing a .45-caliber pistol. They did. A SWAT team responded, negotiating with him for an hour. Officers heard a shot inside the bar, then threw a canister of tear gas into the bar. Hamm left the bar, shooting three officers before officers fatally shot him. Civilians held a blood drive for the officers. Though Hamm was a registered sex offender, the reason for his outburst is unclear.
