Chad Brothers went on some type of rampage at the Gold's Gym in Colonie, NY. Police responded to a 911 call that says that a man was "going crazy". Nobody appears to know why Brothers was so upset. We'll never know now because the young man is dead.
Witnesses tell police he was intentionally speeding up treadmills other people were using, as well as pushing over machines, some weighing up to 700 lbs.
When the first officer arrived to the scene, an unidentified female officer, Brothers was still causing a disturbance and started throwing items at the officer.
Two additional officers arrived at the scene, each using their own taser on Brothers.
After taken into custody, Brothers went into cardiac arrest. The officers at the scene, as well as a gym patron, began CPR on the victim before Colonie EMS arrived.
Brothers was taken to Albany Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
The unidentified officers involved in the incident have been put on paid administrative leave pending the end of the investigation.
Colonie Police Chief Steven Heider says his officers were jusified in what they did.
