Orrin Norris

How they died

Deadly force

An officer was stopped at an intersection when he saw a disturbance in the parking lot of the 7-Eleven Store. As the officer drove into the parking lot he was flagged down by one of the individual's involved in the disturbance. The individual said that the other male had just attempted to stab him with a knife. The officer approached the man as he was attempting to walk away and ordered him to make his hands visible. The male refused to show the officer his hands so the officer placed him at gunpoint. There was a struggle and the officer shot and killed Norris.
