“Officers from the State Police special response team and DEA agents knocked on the door of Kohler’s home at 6:05am. to serve a federal warrant. The newspaper described the special response team as ‘akin to a SWAT team.’ Officers knocked on the door, State Police spokesman Sgt. Michael Baylous said, but no one answered, so police ‘had to break down the door or forcefully open it somehow.’ When police break down the door, they saw Kohler pointing a rifle at them, Baylous said. The troopers opened fire, shooting multiple rounds and killing Kohler. Baylous said he did not think Kohler had fired his weapon, but it was still unclear.”
