Responding to a possible domestic disturbance, Officer Andrew Kappler and another officer found Bonty "hurting himself" in his home with one or two steak knives. When he "made a threatening move" toward his mother Cynthia Bonty, Kappler shot him once. Mrs. Bonty, who has retained a lawyer, claims the police tasered him twice, which they deny.
