How they died
Deadly force
Police responded to the residence of John Karl Sieger who reportedly was making suicidal threats over text message and possibly in possession of a firearm. Officers attempted communication for nearly two hours while Sieger continued to make threats. At about 7:49 p.m., Sieger fired his handgun three times in the backyard, apparently not aiming at anyone. At about 8:23 p.m., Sieger came out of his yard into the alley where officers were staged. According to body cam video, Sieger pointed his handgun directly at police officers, who shot and killed him.
