Add to My HeroesDan D. Tiedeman
Officer Dan Tiedeman was shot and killed while chasing three burglary suspects.
He interrupted the men burglarizing a saloon at 30th Street and Spaulding Street. As the men fled, one of them turned around and fired a shotgun, striking Officer Tiedeman in the stomach. Officer Tiedeman was able to make it to a nearby fire station, where he died.
A man and his two sons were arrested and charged with Officer Tiedeman's murder. One of the sons was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison. On October 15, 1901, the governor commuted his sentence to time served, and he was released. Four months later he was granted a full pardon.
Officer Tiedeman was survived by his wife and daughter.
