How they died
Suicide
Police arrested Ljeka Juncaj for having 400 ecstasy pills and brought him to the police station. According to police, Juncaj pulled a 9 mm handgun he'd smuggled in his pants when Sgt. Christopher Wouters arrived in the booking area. Wouters and another officer reportedly struggled with Juncaj, who fired a shot, killing Wouters. Police said Juncaj then shot himself in the head. The police report said that there was confusion about who was supposed to search Juncaj, so no one did.
