How they died

Deadly force

An off-duty Summit County sheriff's deputy and his wife were watching television in their bedroom when they heard glass breaking in a spare bedroom. When the deputy, armed with a .38-caliber revolver, went to investigate, he found Kendzierski trying to rip off a storm window to gain entry. The deputy ordered Kendzierski to stop. When he did not, the deputy fired a single shot that struck him in the torso and killed him.
