George Huntzinger

Deadly force

Huntzinger, a former social service worker and veteran, fired a shotgun from his Millcreek apartment balcony. After 40 minutes of failed negotiations with a SWAT team, an officer shot Huntzinger. Huntzinger had fired eight rounds when he died. Investigators found ammunition stashed at each window of the apartment. His shots appeared to be indiscriminate; family said his marksmanship was excellent, and he would have shot officers if that was his intention.
