At Rest

Deadly force
Around 6:30 p.m., officers from the Clive Police Department and the West Des Moines Police Department went to a home to arrest Scott Heisler for violation of a no-contact order. Officers made contact with Heisler at the front door and told him he was being arrested. Once inside the home, Heisler allegedly grabbed a gun and threatened the officers, and West Des Moines Police Department Officer Kraig Kincaid shot and killed Heisler. The gun turned out to be a pellet gun which reportedly looked like a real handgun.
This record exists so that Scott Heisler, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
