Arriving at City Center, Norris would walk to the campus of the Militech Offices in Corpo Plaza and attacked multiple NCPD officers utilizing his cyberware and weaponry. His rampage resulted in the deaths of 27 officers.

When MaxTac arrived on the scene, Norris was quickly paralyzed with a quickhack and then neutralized by being shot in the head with a M-179 Achilles.

His death was automatically recorded as a braindance due to his military-grade cyberware, and was edited by well-known BD editor Jimmy Kurosaki for distribution. His cyberware was recovered by EMT Gloria Martinez. She planned to sell it to Maine, who had arrangement with her to buy salvaged cyberware, but she died in a car accident before the exchange could be made.

In 2077, the BD of Norris's death was left in a trash can for V to find, but with a warning to not end up like David Martinez, prompting them to inquire the whereabouts of David.
