Five people have died in California and Arizona over the past week after being shot by police with Taser stun guns. This brings the total number of people killed in the United States by stun guns to at least 147. In one case Arizona police shot a man outside a convenient car because he refused to get out of a car that was not his. After police tried to remove him from the car, they shot him in the arm and leg with a Taser. After he was taken to the hospital, he had a seizure and died.
