OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
Zachariah White walked around in traffic erratically, then entered a nursing home where he entered random rooms. Police attacked him with a taser, then shot and killed him. Police allege he took the metal foot rest of a wheelchair, apparently after he was tasered, and came at police with it. This was the explanation given why the apparently unarmed man was killed. White reportedly wore a hospital wristband at the time he was killed. It is not immediately clear what his connection to the nursing home was. It is also unknown what he may have wanted when he entered the nursing home where he was killed. He was not reported to be violent other than a self-attempt effort with a wheelchair footpad after the taser attack.
