Geoffrey J. Breitkopf

Deadly force

Self-described Satanist and anarchist Anthony DiGeronimo ventured out onto a village main street wearing a mask and scratching cars with knives. He drew the attention of police, retreated into his parents' house, re-emerged threatening responding police with his knives, and was predictably shot to death. Meanwhile perhaps a total of twelve police from different agencies had responded. One retired officer shouted out "Gun!" on county officer Geoffrey Breitkopf and in the confusion he was also fatally shot.
