Jeff Ostler

How they died

Deadly force

Fifty officers swarmed Ostler's residence after a domestic dispute. Ostler had been drinking and shot (and missed) at his father and his son; he also shot at some of the police as they evacuated nearby houses and established a perimeter. The end of the three-hour afternoon armed standoff came when Ostler emerged and pointed his weapon at police. He was shot to death.
