How they died
Deadly force
James Lyle Kuehn allegedly went to Fiesta Ole and demanded money from the cashier, allegedly pointing a knife at him. The worker reportedly grabbed a large cheese knife, which he swung at Kuehn. Customers got between the two men, and Kuehn left. Someone followed Kuehn and found him hiding behind a bush by a house and directed police there. Officers confronted Kuehn who brandished the knife and advanced upon an officer, who tripped and fell backwards. A second officer tasered Kuehn to no effect. A third officer shot and killed Kuehn after he continued to brandish the knife and advanced upon the officer.
