How they died
Deadly force
Nicholas Johnson--an armed-robbery suspect who ran over an officer with his car--was shot seven times--once with a shotgun--and was bitten by a police dog, an autopsy report shows. A total of 53 shots were fired by seven Tucson police officers at Nicholas Johnson as he tried to run over one of the officers. Officers were cleared of any wrongdoing in late April by the County Attorney's Office. A toxicology report showed Johnson tested positive for methamphetamine, cocaine, benzoylecgonine, alcohol, and cannabinoid at the time of his death, according to the autopsy results released by the Pima County Medical Examiner's Office.
