An off-duty police officer shot and killed a young man who attempted to forcibly enter the officer’s home in Lakeshire, Missouri, yesterday (07-09).
Apparently Tyler Gebhard, 20, rang the door at the officer’s residence at about 6 p.m. The officer’s wife answered the door, and refused him entry. The young man was apparently known to the family.
Gebhard, who had been a high-school football player, then picked up a 50-pound concrete planter and threw it through a rear window of the home. He then attempted to enter. At that time the officer shot Gebhard twice center-of-mass. The officer’s wife and mother-in-law as well as two very young children were in the home at the time of the incident.
Gebhard was transported to a local hospital where he went toes-up.
The dead guy was biracial and also bipolar. He was known to the family thru their church. He had been arguing with the officer on Facebook about Black Lives Matter.
So far the St. Louis County PD is stating that the shooting appears to be fully justified.
