On the morning of September 7, 1980, 55-year-old John J. Schneider, a 22-year veteran Investigator with the Winona County Sheriff’s Department, was shot and killed while responding to a domestic disturbance at a mobile home on Ontario Lane in Goodview, Minnesota. Schneider and two other deputies approached a residence where a man had locked himself inside with a young child. Deputies forced entry to secure the child; as they breached the doorway the man, identified as 34-year-old John Arthur Kirch, fired a .22-caliber rifle. A single shot struck Investigator Schneider in the chest and proved fatal.

A roughly 40-minute standoff followed before Kirch surrendered. Schneider, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, was survived by his wife and two children. Kirch was charged with murder and, on January 19, 1981, was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison.

Did anyone in Goodview at the time remember the mobile home on Ontario Lane or the deputies who responded that day?
