Several college students called police when they saw a man circling the neighborhood in a minivan and thought he was casing homes in the neighborhood. A marked unit turned on its emergency lights behind the minivan while an unmarked police car stopped in front of the minivan. Police say both officers exited their vehicle and ordered the driver of the minivan to turn off the engine. At that time the driver allegedly drove towards the plainclothes officer's direction. An officer fired four shots, killing Ferretti.
