The family says Hefti never mentioned that Chase was experiencing a mental health crisis when she called for backup or that she continued to pursue him despite his request otherwise.

Cory Ditter met his son when he arrived home, but Hefti didn’t leave the scene despite the father’s pleading, according to the family.

In 2024, following an investigation by the Nebraska State Patrol, a grand jury declined to bring charges against Hefti and Blunck.

The family initially submitted a tort claim to the city in early 2025, seeking $2 million, but withdrew the claim after the city failed to respond.

The defendants did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The fuck?! How in the fuck can you just walk into a home without a warrant like that after being asked to leave, hit both the son and the father with a taser, shoot the son 9 fucking times because he was holding a knife and then still face zero consequences?!?

I've read madlibs that make more sense than this.

Qualified immunity.

A grand jury decided that there wasn't enough evidence to convict.

Evidence of what?

I read this and it just looks like that officer was trying to make things worse. There was no reason to follow the kid home other than to escalate things.
