犯罪射擊官printz

On the evening of June 1, 1879, 聖. Louis Police Officer Charles Printz was walking his beat near 505 Marion Street on St. 路易’ South Side. 目前尚不清楚查爾斯·桑德斯（Charles Sanders）的行動是否吸引了Printz的注意力, 或printz只是偶然發現了桑德斯. Whatever the circumstances, printz走到桑德斯, who had a revolver in his right hand.

When Sanders saw Printz he fired a shot, which missed the officer. Printz attempted to strike Sanders with his club but missed. During the tussle, Sanders was able to get a second shot off. This bullet struck Printz in the chest and he fell to the pavement. Officer Printz would become the fifth St. Louis Police Officer killed in the line of duty.

查爾斯·桑德斯只是 22 年了，但已經很硬了, vicious criminal. A member of the Duncan Island Gang, 城市當局剛剛從聖人釋放了桑德斯. 路易’ 完成為刺傷男人的9個月刑期後的工作室. 桑德斯（Sanders）獲得了槍，去了他的姐夫和姐姐在馬里恩街.

Sanders’ father had recently passed away. 當局認為他打算強迫萊昂和索菲·馬丁給他錢作為遺產的一部分. 桑德斯站在馬里恩街的家門口，要求看到他的姐夫, 萊昂. Sanders was visibly drunk.

During this tirade, printz軍官接近查爾斯·桑德斯（Charles Sanders），試圖使他平靜下來. 然而, 當桑德斯向printz開槍時，隨後發生了近戰. printz從來沒有拉過左輪手槍，因為他的外衣使得很難繪製武器. As Sanders made his escape, the shot attracted the attention of neighbors.

The neighbors took Officer Printz to Julius Koch’s drug store at Carondolet Avenue and Marion Street. Doctors Hartmann and Yoerster examined Printz, who was already dead. 子彈通過他的主動脈撕裂，在子彈擊中他的幾秒鐘內致命. The 37-year-old Printz had been on the force since August 3, 1872. 他離開了寡婦和孩子.

Sanders escaped St. 路易. 終於, 芝加哥警方逮捕了桑德斯 1883. 回到聖. 路易, 檢察官在陪審團最終裁定桑德斯在桑德斯（Sanders）中犯有四級過失殺人罪，曾四次嘗試桑德斯（Sanders） 1885. 法院判處桑德斯判處四年監禁，但在聖. Louis Jail.

在 1887, 監獄官員釋放桑德斯. 他釋放不久, 桑德斯試圖刺傷另外兩個男人. 陪審團定罪桑德斯毆打了兩人. 法官因未遂謀殺而判處桑德斯兩年監禁.

在這一點上, Charles Sanders fades from history. 他沒有出現在密蘇里州死亡證書數據庫中, 所以他死了 1910. A violent death would not be surprising for such a violent man.
