How they died

Deadly force

State District Judge Kevin Sweazea ordered former New Mexico Park Ranger Clyde Woods to wear an electronic ankle monitoring bracelet for a year before serving probation. Woods pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter in the death of Bruce Teschner, 58. Teschner - who according to testimony was drunk and had a history of mental illness - refused to pay a $14-a-night camping fee and refused to leave the park. Woods said he acted in self-defense. He said Teschner turned and made a motion as if he were pulling a weapon. Witnesses said Teschner was running away when he was shot and killed.
