How they died
Deadly force
William Simon, a military veteran with schizophrenia who was reportedly off his medication, was killed during a 4-hour standoff at his home. Simon's daughter, Patricia Simon, witnessed the entire event and tried to talk her father into surrendering. She said he was scared of the police because they had previously maced him when he was off his medication. Officers had arrived to serve Simon with legal papers of some kind and Simon refused to come out. Simon was reportedly seen with a handgun inside the house. At approximately 1:05 p.m., popping sounds were heard, and Simon was killed.
