Albert Michael “Albie” Schatzhuber Jr

How they died

Deadly force

Police received calls complaining of a motorist driving recklessly. Two officers nearby heard screeching wheels, then saw the car with its lights off about 11:35 p.m. They gave chase with their lights and sirens on. Schatzhuber lost control of his car on Shell and drove onto the right shoulder. The two officers tried blocking him in, parking one cruiser at his rear bumper and the other a little ahead of Schatzhuber's car on the driver's side and yelled for him to shut off the engine and get out of the car. Schatzhuber revved his engine and sped forward, striking the front cruiser and heading toward an officer. The officer fired his 9 mm semi-automatic Beretta at "fairly close" range inside the open driver's side window, killing Schatzhuber.
