How they died
Deadly force
Cullum threatened family members, set fire to their house in San Antonio and fled by motorcycle into Boerne. Police cars blockaded the road. Cullum got off of his motorcycle and threatened himself and officers with a .40-caliber pistol. An officer shot Cullum in the chest about the same time that he shot himself in the head. San Antonio Police Department later investigated officers whom the Cullen family said were supposed to have put Cullum in emergency detention on Nov. 29 due to what was characterized as mental illness. Boerne Police Chief Gary Miller said that it was the first shooting in Boerne in 21 years.
