Description: St. Joseph, Minnesota, police officer Brian Klinefelter was gunned down on January 29, 1996, leaving behind a wife and infant daughter. His death in the midst of a crime spree by three local men shocked Central Minnesota. But the response of his family and others affected by that night's violence was just as surprising in its grace. Drawing on dozens of interviews and hundreds of pages of court records, The Klinefelter Legacy reveals never-before-published details about that night, and also what the family and others have done in the twenty years since to help themselves and the community heal.
