When police found Borner in a stolen car investigation he bolted from the porch on foot, verbally threatened officers when reaching a dead end, ignored police commands, and reached for a black object as if it were a handgun. He was shot four times, two bullets fatally striking him in the chest. The object was a cell phone.
