Cause of death: Shooting

Overview 
Among the findings in the seven-page report: Police fired more than 40 rounds at Eyre, wounding him 23 times.
Officers were legally entitled to use deadly force against Eyre because he pointed a gun at them and threatened them, wrote Paul Miovas, the head attorney with the Office of Special Prosecutions.
Eyre's death was due to "tactical incompetence" on the part of the police officers, his family said Monday.
"Cody's death was the result of poor training and judgment by a SWAT-ted up group of officers who failed in their primary duty to protect Cody," said Samantha Eyre-Harrison, one of Cody Eyre's four sisters.
