How they died
Suicide
Arthur W. "Archie" Brunkhorst reportedly committed suicide during a standoff with police. Police said Brunkhorst had gone to talk to his estranged wife at her daughter's home. According to witnesses, Brunkhorst was threatening to shoot himself, then shot his wife as he heard police arriving, and fled into the woods. Police from several departments set up a perimeter, but said the brush was too thick to see. Police said they thought it too dangerous to send officers into the woods, so when they heard a gunshot at around 2:30 a.m., they waited until daylight to enter. Police then found Brunkhorst dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
