Michael Haen was 38 and serving as a Reserve Police Officer when he was killed on July 28, 1978, in Kansas City, Kansas. He had been dispatched to direct traffic at a traffic accident when another officer attempted to make an arrest and a struggle broke out. During the disturbance, shots were fired between that officer and the person being arrested; Haen was struck by a bullet and later died at a nearby hospital.

An investigation later determined the fatal round was fired inadvertently by a sheriff’s deputy who was also on the scene. The identity of the person being arrested and the reasons for the attempted arrest are not provided, and no information about charges or the investigation outcome is included.

Does anyone have memories of the scene that night or information about the subsequent inquiry into Haen’s death?
