Deadly force
Trooper James Horn stopped Mathias Ringle's other at around 11:45 p.m. on M-24 near Bevens Road in Indianfields Township. As Horn approached, Ringle allegedly opened fire, and Horn fired a number of shots at Ringle. Police said Ringle drove off southbound on M-24, and Horn tried to again to stop his other. According to police, the vehicles collided, causing Ringle's other to be pushed into the ditch. Horn and a Caro police officer reportedly found Ringle dead in the front seat. An official autopsy determined Ringle died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound and that none of Horn's shots hit him.
This record exists so that Mathias “Mat” John Ringle, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
