She said that the officers' actions were justified and reasonable during the Dec. 10 incident in the Dumfries area. It left a man named Kurtis Kay Frevert dead. “In this incident, the danger posed by the decedent was real,” Ashworth said in a statement. “Each of the officers expressed that they believed either they, individually, were in danger of being killed or that the other officers present were in danger of being shot or killed.” Authorities said that police had gotten a call from Frevert’s wife. She said he was armed and threatening to commit suicide. Officers arrived and her husband left with a weapon and headed to a nearby wooded area, police said.
