How they died
Deadly force
Family and friends described Scott M. Murphy as depressed and addicted to drugs after the passing of his wife of 21 years. Murphy was the prime suspect in the afternoon robbery of hundreds of Oxycontin pills from a local drug store. Local police attempted to arrest him at his house around 7 p.m., starting a 18-hour armed standoff. When a SWAT team entered the house, Murphy shot one in the ballistic face shield, grazing his head. The officers open fired, killing Murphy.
