Sergeant Stahl did not hear the command and the other officer drew his gun. Sergeant Stahl was transported to the hospital with a gunshot wound to the head and died several hours later.
Sergeant Stahl had served with the Portland Police Bureau for seven years. He was survived by his three children.
