Two more officers responded. Lichtenwalter shot them both, including Officer Michael Muniz, who fired back. Lichtenberg died and fell on top of Officer Muniz, severely wounded. The officer laid immobile under Lichtenwalter's body until still more officers responded. Muniz, 22, had been an officer for five months.
