How they died
Deadly force
Local officers were alerted to a man riding an ATV in Westchester County and on the New England Thruway at such a high rate of speed--80 MPH--that it seemed suicidal to callers. Officers gave chase until the driver, Johnson, exited to a residential area and wiped out on a corner. Johnson and the officer physically grappled, with Johnson gaining the upper hand and reaching for the officer's gun. He was shot once in the chest.
