Officer Bruce Leonard Vanderjagt, 47, a Denver Police Department officer with 11 years’ service, was killed on November 12, 1997, after a pursuit of burglary suspects ended at an apartment complex in the 3300 block of South Monaco Parkway. As he approached an apartment, one of the suspects, Matthaeus Jaehnig, fired a fully automatic SKS rifle, striking Vanderjagt multiple times in the head and torso. Vanderjagt was taken to Denver Medical Health Center and pronounced dead at 3:58 p.m. He left a wife and a two-year-old daughter.

Shortly after the shooting, Jaehnig was found dead at about 4:30 p.m.; he had used Officer Vanderjagt’s service weapon to take his own life. Jaehnig’s accomplice in the burglary, Lisl Auman, was arrested at the scene and later convicted of felony murder. That conviction was overturned by the Colorado Supreme Court on a jury-instruction issue, and she subsequently pleaded guilty to lesser charges of burglary and being an accessory and was released to a halfway house.

Are there details about the chase or the moments at the apartment complex that anyone with information can add to help complete the timeline?
