How they died
Deadly force
Officers went to the Mariner Loop home after receiving a call that a U.S. Census worker had been confronted by residents who pointed a firearm at the worker and said they would not answer any questions. When two officers arrived, Lionel Craig Patterson answered the door, armed with a handgun. As officers were dealing with him, Victoria Helen Roger-Vasselin approached the door with a shotgun and ignored officers' orders to release the weapon. As she advanced on officers, she continued to point the shotgun at them and they shot and killed her.
