How they died
Deadly force
Officer Jason Ellerbach responded after Frank Elfgen's roommate said Elfgen was threatening suicide at around 9 p.m. The power was reportedly out when Ellerbach arrived and found Elfgen on the bedroom floor with a knife. Ellerbach called for backup and six officers arrived. According to police, officer Jonathan Tatum unsuccessfully tried to Taser Elfgen before he allegedly swiped at officer William Hurt with the knife, then charged at Ellerbach. Ellerbach and Hurt each shot Elfgen twice.
