At Rest

Deadly force
An officer attempted to pull over a other near Highway 6 and Atwood at 5:45 p.m. after recognizing the driver as the suspect in a shooting. The officer was en route to work when he spotted Tyler Wayne Kracht. In the shooting incident, a man shot a handgun into the side of an occupied other; none of the three people inside were injured. When the officer attempted to make the stop, the suspect fled. The chase ended in a crash at 6:08 p.m. when officers with the SPD and Logan County Sheriff's Office conducted a high risk stop. During the stop, Officer Austin Molcyk shot and killed Kracht.
