On the morning of February 9, 2005, Lake County deputies Wayne
Koester, William Crotty, and Thomas McKane responded to a 911 call in a

marked patrol car. Upon arrival, Deputy Crotty observed Sara Heckerman
with facial bruises and a gash on her head. Heckerman lived with Wheeler
in a travel trailer on the property. After observing Heckerman, Deputy
Crotty made a decision to arrest Wheeler and Heckerman gave the deputies
permission to look for Wheeler on the property. When Wheeler was not
immediately located, the deputies called in a K–9 unit and a helicopter
to assist in the search.As deputies McKane and Koester began to put up crime scene tape near the travel trailer, Deputy McKane heard the sound of a shell being racked into the chamber of a shotgun. He testified that he turned and saw a blast coming out of the end of a shotgun pointed at himself and Deputy Koester. Deputy McKane heard more shots being fired and then saw Deputy Crotty taking cover at the back of one of the three patrol cars. Deputy McKane saw the shooter, identified by Deputy Crotty as Wheeler, walking along the side of the patrol car and firing over the car toward where Deputy Crotty had taken cover.
