Lloyd Hodgson Tschohl

How they died

Deadly force

Tschohl, armed with two handguns, resisted officers' attempts to check on his welfare, refusing to leave his house. After more than three hours of negotiations, Tschohl fired on officers who approached the house. He then came out the back door, armed, and shot again at officers, who returned fire. North Mankato police had attempted to check on Tschohl a day earlier after a relative had called to request a welfare check. Tschohl refused to talk to officers. The Star Tribune reported that, the next day, Tschohl's family called police again to say he had made "homicidal statements" and had weapons in his house.
