William R. Osterlind

Deadly force

Osterlind was threatening to harm himself. When police arrived they told him to drop his gun - instead, Osterlind pointed the gun at his head. Osterlind was walking toward the home where two young girls were. An officer, worried Osterlind posed a threat toward the girls, shot Osterlind. Osterlind fired a round, striking a 12-year-old girl. Osterlind died from his wound.
