How they died
Deadly force
Officer Ben Ihde and another officer responded at about 1:15 a.m. after a caller reported that David Michael Stehl had forced his way into a house, smashed some windows and fought with a one of the residents. According to police, the officers found Stehl standing near the front door holding a shard of glass. Ihde pepper sprayed Stehl after police said he refused to drop the shard, but it had no effect. Stehl allegedly continued walking toward Ihde, who fired two shots at Stehl, killing him.
