Detective Sergeant Kaltenberger was accidentally shot in the abdomen. While at work in the city's police station, now the old City Hall building, Detective Kaltenberger's own .45-caliber automatic dislodged from his holster, fell to the floor, and discharged.

He died one day after his 24th anniversary of his appointment to the Colorado Springs Police Department.

Det. Sgt. Kaltenberger,
On today, the 76th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just for your Community but for our Country as well when you served with the U.S. Army on the Mexican Border and in Europe during WW I. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

R.I.P.
