How they died
Deadly force
According to family members, Raad Fakhri Salman had mental health issues and was off his meds when he assaulted his wife with a kitchen knife. SWAT officers who were training nearby responded to the domestic violence call from Salman and encountered Salman holding a knife to his wife's neck while he was on the line with 911 dispatchers. Salman allegedly refused commands to drop the knife and made cutting motions towards his wife's neck. One SWAT officer shot and killed Salman. The SWAT officer was cleared of wrongdoing, and a lawsuit brought by Salman's family was turned away.
