How they died
Deadly force
Robert Charles Foster had a history of mental illness and suicidal behavior. Foster called 911 and said he had explosives and planned to set off an explosion. State troopers, sheriff deputies and local police encountered Foster in a pickup truck parked about 100 yards behind the church around 11:30 a.m. Using a drone, police ascertained Foster's bombs weren't armed, so they waited him out. Shortly before 4 p.m., Foster got out of his truck, pointed a shotgun at police, then fired once. Six officers shot and killed him.
