Wendell King

Date of the incident: 1/24/2015

Fort Worth, Tarrant, TX

The Star-Telegram reported that officers went to King's home to conduct a welfare check. King's mother told dispatchers that her son was locked inside his bedroom, not making any noise, and that she feared he might have a medical emergency. But as officers went to check, police say King opened fire, striking Sgt. S. Drake in the lower abdomen, and prompting officers to return fire, killing him.
