How they died

Deadly force

Paul E. Schenck suffered from bipolar disorder, alcoholism and owned numerous guns. He called 911 after getting in a fight with his son. When police encountered Schenck, he refused to come out of his room. Schenck fired several shots inside the room, and police withdrew to form a perimeter. Police requested assistance from the Greene County Combined SWAT Team. They soon received aid from about 63 units from 10 jurisdictions in the area. Schenck fired hundreds of rounds from multiple guns during the hours long standoff, most of them at the inside of the dwelling. A SWAT sniper short and killed Schenck to end the standoff.
