"An off-duty St. Louis County police officer fatally shot a man as he was trying to enter the officer's home Saturday evening, police said.
Police said the off-duty officer, who was not identified, shot and killed 20-year-old Tyler Gebhard after he threw a 50-pound concrete planter through a window to enter the Lakeshire home, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.
According to police, Gebhard was known to the family and had recently made online threats toward it and "uninvolved members of the community."

Per his H/S football coach, Gebhard was a good student & good athlete. He was on a college team in 2015, but did not play in any games. Per his uncle, Gebhard "... waged a long battle with bi-polar disorder.... (the family) had to stay on him to take his medication."
