State and federal law allows the use of deadly force to prevent an escape if the officer believes the suspect poses a significant threat. Law enforcement experts say this shooting was clear-cut.”
Brooks was not a convicted killer. He was convicted of battery and cruelty to children.

He became a felon by fighting, resisting, escaping and firing a firearm at the police. I've seen instances where someone pointed a cell phone at a COP and got shot.
