Officer Shaun Zane, a Rice Township police officer, arrived at the Spacek home in response to a domestic disturbance report. Lupas said police were summoned to the house previously for similar problems. When the officer arrived and opened the white picket fence that surrounds the blue-colored house, Charles R. Spacek Jr. pointed a handgun directly at the officer, refused to put it down, walked toward the officer and was shot and killed.
