Kris Edward Sohne was 27 when he was killed on April 4, 1991, during the Sacramento Good Guys! Electronics hostage crisis. Four armed men entered the store and held 41 employees and customers hostage for about eight hours; the gunmen demanded $4 million, bulletproof vests, and a helicopter and used hostages as human shields. Negotiations were tense and the situation deteriorated as the gunmen began harming hostages.

A tactical team later stormed the store. Three of the gunmen were killed and one was captured. Kris Sohne was one of three hostages killed during the rescue; the others named in reports are John Lee Fritz and Fernando Gutierrez. The surviving gunman, Loi Khac Nguyen, was arrested and later sentenced to life without parole.
