How they died
Deadly force
Officers initially responded to Mr. Weipert's home in reference to a disturbance that involved an alleged armed, intoxicated man who was threatening suicide. Witnesses said several officers surrounded the house and took cover, with guns drawn. A police negotiator made contact with Mr. Weipert, who refused to comply with officers. Police allege that Weipert reached for a nearby handgun, when they shot and killed him.
