How they died
Deadly force
Officers shot and killed Michael L. Rodgers when he allegedly pointed a gun at them. Police had responded to an alarm at Illinois Other Insurance at around 2:20 p.m., where Rodgers reportedly confronted them with a handgun, said he had a hostage, and demanded $5,000 and a car. Police learned Rodgers had called a relative stating he'd tried to rob the store and killed Jeniel Morgan, 42, a salesperson. Rodgers came outside at around 4 p.m. and allegedly pointed his gun at SWAT officers, who shot him three times. Officers went inside and found Morgan's body.
