On instructions from a hospital, Blair's family called the county police to assist when the 26-year-old paranoid schizophrenic had locked himself in a bathroom and had threatened suicide with a knife. Officers escalated the situation, Tasered the victim without effect, then killed him with "almost a dozen" gunshots fired into his body at point-blank range.
