How they died
Deadly force
Two officers responded to reports of a knife-wielding man near a family residence. As Walter Wallace allegedly moved forward, police fired 14 rounds at the man while neighbors looked on and his mother tried to tell police to stop shooting at her son. Officers were dispatched in response to calls that Wallace was screaming and that he was armed with a knife. Sources said police had been called to the house three times that day. Wallace suffered from bipolar disorder.
