How they died
Deadly force
Officer Greg Bahe shot John J. Perez after a high-speed chase when Perez allegedly pointed a gun at him. Police said they were called to Perez's house after neighbors saw him fighting with his girlfriend and he shot at a passerby who stopped to help her. Perez fled when police arrived. This was reportedly the first fatal shooting by a St. Charles police officer.
