How they died

Deadly force

Three Haysville police officers responding to the report of an active domestic violence incident in a ground-floor apartment at Village Green Apartments on Tuesday came upon a suspect barricaded in a bedroom, holding a woman at knife point, Haysville police said Wednesday. When the armed man – identified by police as 40-year-old Chad A. Leichhardt – refused numerous commands to drop the knife and continued to threaten the woman, one of the officers fired a single shot, killing him.
