Joshua Thomas Gilchrist

Deadly force

According to the Argus Leader: Officers responded to a home for a possible stabbing. Gilchrist was assaulting his family members. When they arrived, his sister answered the door covered in blood and told them Gilchrist was trying to kill her mom. When officers entered the home, they saw Gilchrist running toward them with a sword above his shoulders. He ran out the front door and attacked an officer. After failed attempts to taser him, Huron Police Sgt. Daniel Schlader fired four shots, striking Gilchrist twice, including a fatal shot that passed through the left shoulder and lung.
