How they died
Deadly force
A deputy shot and killed Timothy Strauss when he allegedly attacked two officers in the woods. The deputies responded at about 11:45 p.m. after a man reported that his friend (Strauss) had hit him in the head with a baseball bat, knocking him unconscious. Deputies saw Strauss driving on Highway 30 and tried to stop him. Strauss turned onto Highway FF and drove about a half-mile before crashing in a ditch while attempting a U-turn. The deputies reportedly chased Strauss on foot into a wooded area where the fight ensued. According to the deputies, Straus struck one of them with a tree branch, then came at them with a metal pipe. The deputies shot Strauss three times. Strauss was reportedly the younger brother of Dan Strauss, a St. Louis radio personality on KTRS.
