How they died
Deadly force
Deputies responded to a report of a man with a firearm threatening to commit suicide, police said. Despite negotiations with police, family and doctors throughout the night, John David Muesing, 62, refused to surrender. At 11:04 a.m., Muesing left his residence displaying a handgun and holding what police thought was an explosive device. He was instructed to surrender the firearm and device but refused. Police struck him twice with beanbags, but he still failed to comply with commands. He started to approach the deputy who fired the beanbags, and another officer shot and killed him.
