How they died
Deadly force
Grayce Andersen, 81, called police to report a fight between her husband and son, Richard Andersen, 53, police said. When officers arrived, they saw Roland Andersen lying in a pool of blood on the floor. Police asked the son, who had a butcher knife, to open the door, but he became agitated and moved toward the father aggressively. An officer standing on the porch fired through a small window, killing the son.
