Robert Elias Aho

Deadly force

Officers responded to reports of a domestic disturbance at Aho's home. When officers arrived, they learned Aho was inside the house with a gun, and that he had fired shots before they arrived. A garage door opened, and Aho came out, carrying a rifle and a shotgun. Aho had the gun barrels pointed up and "ignored repeated instructions to put the weapons down, and then lowered the barrel of one of the weapons to point at the officers," according to the BCA investigation into the incident. That's when Hussmann fired.
