Both the state patrol and a Joplin Police Department internal-affairs review determined that Officers Ben Cooper and Freddie Alaniz acted in accordance with the department’s use-of-force policy in drawing and firing their weapons on Milton E. Ganz, 38. Ganz was treated for a single gunshot wound to the abdomen following the incident. Ganz, a former lieutenant with the Jasper County Sheriff’s Department, was armed with a .357-caliber revolver and allegedly pointed it at Cooper as the officers were responding to a 911 call from Ganz’s wife reporting that he had a gun and was threatening to kill himself at their residence. Cooper and Alaniz had been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation.
