How they died
Deadly force
Yahraus was a paramedic training with a local SWAT force for high-risk traffic stops. He was fatally struck in the left eye by a projectile during training. Officials had moved away from using potentially hazardous blanks, and had plugged lead into the barrels of training handguns for use with primer rounds. The gun that killed Yahraus was plugged and loaded with a blank, which blew out the plug. The state settled with the family for $1.25M.
