How they died

Deadly force

An off-duty deputy shot Ryan Fierce Taylor after Taylor killed 7-Eleven clerk Naimatullah Hassan, 24. The deputy was reportedly working a second job as the store's security guard when Taylor shot Hassan after he'd refused to give Taylor money during an attempted robbery. When the deputy, who was in a back room, heard the commotion he ran to the front of the store and shot Taylor several times with his .38-caliber revolver.
