KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Police in Kansas City, Kansas, are investigating the death of a 34-year-old local man after an officer shocked him with a stun gun.
Police said officers were summoned Wednesday after someone reported a man behaving strangely in the parking lot of a Family Dollar store. They say the man turned combative when paramedics tried to treat him and that an officer shocked him with a stun gun to subdue him.
The man later died at a hospital. Police identified him Thursday as Randall C. Torrence.
The police department’s major case unit is investigating. An autopsy and toxicology tests are being conducted to determine what caused Torrence to die.
