How they died
Deadly force
Law enforcement investigators say Deen and two other men were siphoning gasoline from cars parked in the neighborhood off Highway 273 near Win-River Casino. Officers used a stun gun at least twice on Deen after he came at them with a knife, according to the Shasta County Sheriff's Office, which handled the investigation into the shooting. Not fazed by the stun gun, Deen tried to stab an officer with a knife that was attached to his hand with an elastic bandage before Cpl. Jon Poletski fired two rounds, striking Deen once, police have said.
