How they died
Deadly force
An officer shot and killed unarmed James R. Bergmann when he allegedly reversed car and tried to run officers over after a chase from St. Charles to Maryland Heights. Officers started pursuing a Saturn sedan on eastbound I-70 near the Cave Springs exit because the license plate number was listed as stolen, according to police. The car crossed into St. Louis County, exited the interstate and headed south. The chase ended at about 5:40 p.m., after Bergman lost control of the car near Creve Coeur Lake. Bergmann then reportedly began to back up--police said he was backing toward them--and one of the officers shot him.
