How they died
Deadly force
Stephen Cogelia had been asked by his father to leave the residence. Cogelia had made threats that he would kill his father and other occupants of the home. The father went to the state police barracks to report the threats and obtain a temporary restraining order against his son. While the father was at the barracks, a relative called to report that Cogelia had returned to the Sunset Lake Road home and was making additional threats. Five troopers went upstairs to the second floor of the home, and after opening the door of a bedroom, encountered Cogelia who was armed with a hunting knife. He was shot and killed.
