How they died
Deadly force
Robertson was wanted for questioning in several pawn shop burglaries in Lawton and Duncan. Police officers sat in surveillance Dec. 17 of Robertson's Lawton apartment, but he never showed up. Officers returned the next day and confronted Robertson in a parking lot. After officers identified themselves and told Robertson they had felony warrants for his arrest, Robertson reportedly pulled his weapon and fired, then tried to escape on foot, police said. Robertson pointed his gun at Officer Steve Handy and was shot and killed.
