How they died
Deadly force
Deputies surrounded Schleuning's other in a rural area south of Ankeny at around 1:30 a.m., after he called 911 saying that he had a gun and wanted to kill himself. After three hours, police said Schleuning agreed to exit his car. Deputy Dale Petersen reportedly fired what he thought was a beanbag, but was actually a lethal, hard plastic round of ammunition designed to pierce barricades. The PCSO didn't stock or issue that style of ammunition; the reason for Petersen having it weren't disclosed. The county agreed to pay $385,000 to Schleuning's family to settle a lawsuit.
