How they died
Deadly force
Deputies went to a home on a welfare check, because the resident, Robert Battaglia's mother believed that her son who is bipolar and schizophrenic had broken into her home. While the officers attempted to talk to him, Battaglia allegedly went into the kitchen and grabbed a knife and ran at them. Battaglia stabbed one of the deputies and reached for the officer's gun. The other deputy shot Battaglia, which was fatal.
