Hans Gerhard Harrer, 54, died in a confrontation with law enforcement at his Camp Springs, Maryland, home in February 2010. Officers in the neighborhood were investigating the unrelated death of a man found in the back of a box truck and went door-to-door for information, which brought them to Harrer’s residence on Coolridge Road.

Police say Harrer became irrational during the encounter, retrieved a shotgun and barricaded himself inside. Patrol officers established a perimeter and called the conflict management team. After negotiations failed, the emergency services team made entry and, according to police, Harrer pointed a shotgun at team members. A member of the emergency services team fired their service weapon and fatally wounded him. The shooting was under investigation.

Are there local witnesses or neighbors who remember the disturbance or have additional details about what happened that day?
