A fatal shooting by police in Wallingford, Connecticut, is raising questions about whether officers could have responded in another way
Donald Passmore was lying in bed with a .22-caliber revolver and had country music playing when he was killed by two police officers who had initially been summoned to the 62-year-old's Connecticut home after a report he'd shot himself. The killing Monday angered and saddened Passmore’s family and raised questions about whether officers could have done things differently.
Passmore's sister, Susan Cone, sounded upset during a brief phone interview and declined to comment. The house had belonged to Passmore’s late mother. Court records show Passmore's mother, Pauline Passmore, died last year. Her mortgage lender has a pending foreclosure action against the home. Michael Lawlor, a criminal justice professor at the University of New Haven and a former state lawmaker, said the inspector general's office will determine whether the officers broke any laws.
