How they died
Deadly force
Richard Joseph Jackson allegedly tried to steal a other from another man outside a store. Jackson then walked to a nearby Walmart and stole ammunition and tried to steal a gun, allegedly threatening employees with a knife. Oak Harbor Police officers and Island County deputies found Jackson nearby. Jackson engaged in a stare down with police in which he refused orders to keep his hands out of his pocket. When he put his right hand in his pocket, one officer tasered Jackson and another officer shot him five times, killing him. Jackson had a knife in his pocket. All officers cleared of wrongdoing.
