How they died
Deadly force
Police were called to Leitz's home to investigate a domestic disturbance, police said. Leitz pulled out a shotgun and pointed it at his wife and infant. The wife ran out of the house to the nearby home of an off-duty Gwinnett officer, and a 911 call was made. A police negotiator pleaded with Leitz to surrender for nearly three hours, but he refused. Finally, Leitz tried to flee by backing his truck out of the driveway. Leitz pointed a gun at officers and allegedly fired a shot. The officers shot and killed Leitz.
