Officers were looking for a white other after receiving a report of a drive-by shooting. They spotted a white car speeding and attempted a traffic stop, and a 7-minute chase ensued. The other was disabled after driving over a curb, and four people fled on foot. One officer chased Lanning over a fence into a backyard. Lanning was carrying a bag and allegedly reaching into it and the officer shot him several times, killing him. No weapons were found in Lanning's belongings or in the other.
