Deadly force

Working with the ex-wife, police set the house alarm and removed her to a safe location. Brooks returned the next evening. Police responding to the alarm encountered Brooks hiding in a bedroom. An officer tasered Brooks and a struggle ensued in which Brooks attempted to take control of an officer's rifle. Multiple officers shot and killed Brooks.
