Daniel David Burkhardt

Deadly force

Three police arrived at the location after being dispatched to the area for a report of a man with a knife. State police said the Johnstown officers said they came in contact with Burkhardt and that he was armed with two knives, one in each hand. State police said the officers told him to drop the knives, but he wouldn't and moved toward the officers. Officers fired bean bag rounds from a shot gun and a Taser at Burkhardt, but he continued to move toward them. That's when Officers Erin Kabler, Kevin Fickes and Justin Green shot and killed him.
