Confrontation at the Scene
Upon arrival at the scene, officers encountered an unknown man, later identified as Steven Amann, who confronted them as they tended to a patient. Despite attempts to communicate with Amann and ascertain his reasons for being at the location, he remained mostly nonverbal and unresponsive to their questions.

According to police reports, the situation escalated when Amann reached behind his back, moved towards a concealed area, and suddenly assumed a shooting stance, pointing an object at the officers.
