How they died
Deadly force
King had been arguing with girlfriend Laura Ball before police arrived, but he did not reach for the BB gun in his desk until he heard officers at his back door, said King's roommate, Earl Kinney, who was in the apartment. Kinney said he called police to King's house after King backed Ball into a bedroom and was acting threateningly toward her. King pointed the BB gun at the officers when they arrived and ignored orders to drop it and was shot and killed.
