Duane Sasse

How they died

Deadly force

Sasse was arrested for allegedly assaulting an ex-girlfriend. After his release from jail, Sasse went to the woman's residence, police said. A male friend of the woman was there when Sasse arrived, and Sasse threatened him. The friend fled to another home to call police. When Officer Chet Glancy and Sgt. David Pruitt arrived, Sasse was wielding a knife. Police said Sasse threatened someone with the knife, but the department would not say whom. Sasse was told to put down the knife, but he refused, and he was shot and killed.
