Deadly force

Cooper was suspected of selling narcotics. Local police came at 10 and knocked a number of times, announcing themselves, before taking Cooper's front door down with a battering ram. They found him in a bedroom, half-hidden, handgun in hand. He began a firefight. He was hit three times and died of his wounds.
