How they died
Deadly force
Klockenga tricked his estranged wife, with their two young children, into a car before springing the news that he was going to shoot himself, and he wanted her to watch. The two struggled for the weapon, he bit her, she escaped from the car, and he tried to run her down. The incident evolved into a showdown with police in which Klockenga was shot dead by SWAT members as he held his six-month-old child. Mother and children were unhurt.
