How they died
Deadly force
There near the Illinois state capitol even the secretary of state was aware of Geiser's bizarre, unbalanced and sometimes threatening behavior. A local officer specially trained to handle mentally ill suspects easily deflected Geiser coming at him with a serrated knife. Unfortunately the two other officers on the scene, untrained, shot him to death.
