Around 11:45 a.m., three Greenfield police officers were investigating a stolen vehicle in the parking lot of a Home Depot. David Donelli was suspected of stealing a vehicle that three Greenfield officers found in the parking lot. Police believed Donelli was inside the business, and as they waited, the man ran outside into the parking lot. While chasing him, one officer shocked him with a Taser, and the man fell to the ground and hit his head on the concrete, killing him.
