How they died
Deadly force
Sumbler, carrying a 9mm pistol and a Bible, threatened himself to a Crisis Intervention Team (CIT)-trained officer while standing on a median in Mowery Road. The officer calmed Sumbler down. When a SWAT team arrived, Sumbler vacillated between pointing his gun at himself and reading from his Bible. He pointed his gun at officers, who fatally shot him.
