Ronald Wagner

Deadly force

Stratford Police responded to a complaint from a woman whose former fiance had forced his way into her house in the early morning hours. A number of officers converged on the house, where Wagner could be seen inside with a rifle. Eventually Wagner came to the front door and challenged officers directly. Upon aiming his weapon at one of the police, he was fatally shot once with a rifle. Wagner had been holding a Daisy BB gun.
