Kenneth Kreyssig’s shot missed the deputy and then the two struggled over the gun before both the deputy and a state trooper fired at Kreyssig, according to the attorney general’s report made public on Jan. 11. Kreyssig was declared dead at the scene, and an autopsy by the state’s chief medical officer later determined that the 61-year-old died from three gunshot wounds.
