At Rest

Suicide
David L. Koertner reportedly committed suicide after officer Sean Patridge fired at him when he allegedly shot at the officer. Patridge went to Koertner's home at 5:25 p.m., after the SCSD asked the FPD to pick him up for a domestic dispute that happened earlier in their jurisdiction. Koertner allegedly approached Patridge in the driveway with a handgun and fired one round at him. According to police, Patridge fired once in return and Koertner ran. Patridge called for back-up. Officers said they found Koertner dead by his garage.
