How they died

Deadly force

According to police, off-duty corrections officer Thomas Walteraeck was driving his pickup truck at about 4:45 p.m., when he turned off the Lodge Freeway onto a service drive. Police said Paul Anderson reportedly pulled up behind the pickup in a 1992 Honda Accord, honked the horn and yelled at Walteraeck to stop. Walteraeck pulled over and remained inside. Anderson allegedly got out with a seven-iron golf club and started hitting the truck, while two women with Anderson hit it with a steering column locking device. Police said Anderson broke the passenger window, hit Walteraeck' arm and tried to pull him out of the truck. Walteraeck drew his state issued handgun and shot Anderson in the head, killing him.
