press conferences. The officers arrived and talked with David Crable who initially agreed to leave his brother's house with them. He entered a bedroom to get his things and then came out of the bedroom shooting. Crable's brother and daughter dragged one wounded officer outdoors. The other officer was able to shoot and fatally wound David Crable. Crable's daughter ran to the neighbors and called in the "officer down" report bringing other officers to the scene.

David Crable's brother assisted one wounded officer until emergency teams arrived on the scene. Troyer credits the bother and daughter with saving one officer's life according to the press conference he gave today.

It was not legal for David Crable to possess a firearm. Obviously, breaking the law didn't bother him too much.
