How they died
Deadly force
East Alton police officer Brady Greene and Hartford police Sgt. Gary Turner shot Terry J. Compagno after he reportedly shot at them. Wood River officer David George had noticed Compagno acting suspiciously and stopped to question him. Compagno allegedly shot into the officer's squad car, fired several shots at a second responding officer, then fled down an alley with police following. 20-30 officers from different departments responded. Off-duty South Roxana officer Peter J. Carroll III hit Compagno with his pickup truck when he allegedly shot at him. Compagno fell to the ground, where police said he continued shooting while rolling around, prompting officers to open fire. Compagno died at the scene from a gunshot wound to the back of the head. He was also hit seven other times.
