How they died
Deadly force
Officers responded to Raymond W. Adkins' home at 11:39 p.m. for a domestic violence call. According to police, Adkins refused to cooperate and they had to knock the door down. Adkins allegedly charged toward police, so shift commander Alan Rohrig shot Adkins with a beanbag on the front porch. Adkins allegedly struggled with Rohrig, grabbing and aiming the barrel of the beanbag gun toward Rohrig's face. Officer Travis S. Hagan then shot Adkins once in the back, killing him. Adkins' daughter disputed the police account of the shooting, saying the officers dragged her father onto the porch and that he didn't grab the beanbag gun.
