Deadly force
Barrett fired his pistol into the seat of his other, injuring himself. Officers working extra jobs as security guards responded to the sound. Barrett ignored their orders to drop his pistol as he left his other. He shot at the officers as he fled. Barrett swam across Buffalo Bayou, and lifted himself out of the water still armed. Officers told him to drop his weapon again, then fatally shot him.
