Robert Bradley (2022)
Overview
On September 4, 2022, Bradley was unloading his van after a camping trip. A neighbor who had a conflict with Bradley over property lines called a sergeant directly to report that Bradley was carrying an AR-15 style rifle. Spokane Washington Police Department officers Chris Johnson and Trevor Walker responded, walking up to Bradley's house. The officers identified themselves and Bradley started to exit the van. The officers shot Bradley, who died at the hospital.[1][2]
A police briefing from the night of the incident reported that "shots were exchanged". An analysis of the gun found near Bradley showed that it had not been fired and no spent shell casings for the gun were found at the scene.[2][1]
The officers were placed on administrative leave.[2]
On March 9, 2023, the mother of Bradley's children filed a wrongful death lawsuit.[1]
