The schizophrenic Caccamo severely beat his elderly mother and stepfather in the home they shared. The police arrived and used nonlethal force (stun and pepper), but Caccamo was wearing a bullet proof vest and went toward officers, two of whom were stabbed and left with nonfatal wounds. Officer James Kelley shot and killed Caccamo.
