How they died
Deadly force
Three undercover police in an unmarked car cornered city resident Andrew L. Smith, 24, sought for questioning in an earlier shooting. A shootout between Smith and the undercover officers ensued. Officer James A. Palange pulled up nearby and, seeing what appeared to be rival gangs firing at each other, began shooting, firing four times at the rear of a car. One bullet killed Officer Michael H. Wise II, 32, of Myerstown, who was in the car.
