How they died
Deadly force
Robert Burgess apparently was attempting to give away a 3-year-old boy, presumed to be his son, when police were contacted. The boy was not present when Burgess was shot, as he was taken away by police at their initial encounter with Burgess. He fled and later attempted several failed armed carjackings. Officers eventually caught up with Burgess at a business park, where an officer shot and killed him. He had grasped an officer's gun.
