Three Davenport Police officers, two Iowa State Troopers and one Bettendorf Police officer discharged their weapons during the encounter with Carrol, and all six officers have been placed on Critical Incident Leave while the case is being investigated, according to a DPS news release.
An autopsy of Carrol will take place at the Office of the Iowa State Medical Examiner. No law enforcement personnel were injured.
