How they died
Deadly force
Officer Matt Bowers responded at about 11:30 p.m. to a woman's report that she was almost run over by Beau Andrew Weiersheuser's pickup truck. Bowers saw the pickup stopped on Wallace Street and tried, unsuccessfully, to contact Weiersheuser before calling for backup. Officer Matt Lawrence arrived and the officers approached the truck. Weiersheuser allegedly backed into Bowers' squad car and lurched forward, striking both officers. The officers opened fire. Weiersheuser fled on foot through the L & B Mobile Home Park. Police said Sgt. Art Anderson joined the pursuit and found Weiersheuser collapsed on Sampson Street. Bowers was treated for his injuries at the scene, and Lawrence was taken to a hospital.
