A Waterloo Iowa man is killed by police upon returning home from a night out. His wife did not appreciate the fact that he was drunk so called the police to ask him to sleep elsewhere. The couple was not engaged in a fight, she just wanted him to leave because she had to work in the morning. The encounter ended in bloodshed. The officer responsible for the death of the man has returned to duty.
