At Rest

Deadly force
Douglas County sheriff's deputies arrived at a Miltona home shortly before 5:30 a.m. following a 911 call about a domestic disturbance. When deputies arrived, Tyler Schmidtbauer came to the door holding a shotgun. He did not comply with orders to drop the shotgun, and Deputy Alexander Herzberg shot and killed him.
This record exists so that Tyler Schmidtbauer, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
