According to the police report, Oribris charged the deputy, armed with a .32 revolver. The two "scuffled" on the floor, and the deputy knocked the gun away. The deputy, trying to handcuff Oribris from behind, was able to get one hand handcuffed when the suspect broke free and grabbed the gun. Oribris reportedly then pointed the gun, which was cocked, at the deputy. In response, the deputy fired one shot at Oribris, who continued to point the gun at the deputy. A second shot was fired and the suspect collapsed. The autopsy showed one shot in the neck area and once in the back area. It was later determined that the gun was not loaded. | polksheriff.org |

|
| Officers Glen Bowles, Glenn Burgess and Dave Vandenheede responded at 5:29 p.m. to the Cordova Courts Co-Op after Curry's cousin asked for help removing an "unwanted guest." Curry emerged from the basement and retreated several times until Bowles pepper sprayed him and called for backup. Officers Curt Randall, Norman Graleski and Richard "Dick" Vauris arrived, and Curry stood with his hand in his pocket as the officers sat at the kitchen table talking to him. Officer Mark Krutell arrived with his K-9. For unclear reasons, Vauris rushed Curry, grabbed him in a bear hug and backed him against the wall. Curry allegedly took Vauris' gun from its holster and fell onto his stomach with the gun under him, as Bowles grabbed Curry's wrist. Police said the gun discharged, striking Vauris, then fired again, striking Curry. The officers then shot Curry 13 times in the back, killing him. Sgt. Thomas Terzo arrived, and he and Krutell dragged Vauris to a police car and took him to a hospital, where he died. Curry's body remained on the floor for hours as an upset crowd gathered outside. About a month later, the Macomb County prosecutor said the shooting was justified. Curry's family contested the police version, asking whether Vauris was actually killed by a fellow officer. There was no gunpowder residue on Curry's hands and his fingerprints weren't on the gun. Investigators also never determined which gun the bullet that killed Vauris came from. Oakland County medical examiner Dr. Ljubisa Dragovic, who was hired by Curry's family, described one of the bullet wounds as an "execution-style" wound because the gun was directly against Curry's body when fired. | macombdaily.com |

| According to police Capt. Walter Almond, the events leading to Carter's death began when Agee stopped a black 1997 Honda because of complaints that "loud music" coming from the vehicle was bothering some residents. A license check revealed the driver was wanted on a misdemeanor charge of property damage. When Agee returned to the vehicle, he asked the car's two passengers to step outside. When Carter emerged from the backseat, Almond said, four packets of marijuana fell from his clothing. Carter then bolted and led Agee on a circular foot chase. The ensuing pursuit ended with a tussle on Rosetta Street in which Agee tried to use pepper spray to subdue Carter. During the struggle, police say Carter got hold of Agee's revolver and shot him in the right arm, fracturing a bone. When Goldie and Goins arrived, they ordered Carter to drop the weapon. Instead, Almond says, Carter kept the gun trained on Agee. Goins and Goldie then fired numerous rounds, striking Carter from his leg to his left side.
