Thomas Matthew Dugger

Deadly force

Police responded to a noise complaint at an apartment in the Polo Run complex around midnight. When they confronted the resident at his door, Thomas Dugger fired one shot at officers. The shot missed the officers, but traveled through the door of a neighboring apartment, striking a woman in that apartment in the leg. Police began to set up a perimeter. As they waited, Dugger came back out of his apartment, charged forward and opened fire, exchanging shots with officers, who shot and killed him.
