BEAVERCREEK — Military records indicate that Scott A. Brogli, who was shot and killed Sunday night, June 27, by a Beavercreek police officer, retired from the Air Force in February after a career spent at several bases.

The master sergeant and air transportation specialist had only lived in Beavercreek since January, Beavercreek police Chief John Turner said, and neither Brogli nor his wife, 31-year-old Jessica Wilson, have criminal histories in Greene County and no prior domestic violence runs had been made to their home.

Police Officers Sean Williams and Dan Krall responded to a domestic violence call involving Wilson at their home, the Promenade Apartments, 4052 Primrose Place.

According to police, Brogli was holding a large knife when he charged at officers and did not respond to their commands to open the door to the apartment.

Brogli, 45, shot once in the chest by Williams, was pronounced dead at 6:58 p.m. at Miami Valley Hospital.

“I heard the gunshot and locked the door and ducked,” one resident of the building said.

Wilson also went to Miami Valley Hospital, police said. Information about her injuries and condition was not released.

“The incident is tragic, first and foremost for the family of the deceased, but also for the officers involved and for the Beavercreek Police Department,” Turner told reporters Monday, June 28. “This incident is a first for our department, where an officer has had to utilize force to unfortunately take the life of another. Our condolences go out to the family of the deceased.”

Records at Air Force Personnel indicate Brogli last worked at Langley Air Force Base in Virginia. He also worked at MacDill in Florida, Little Rock (Ark.), Malmstrom in Montana and Whiteman in Missouri, but not at Wright-Patterson.

Tim Brogli of Grafton, Wis., who identified himself as Scott Brogli’s brother, was reached by telephone but refused comment.

Police haven’t given a reason as to why — according to 911 callers and neighbors — Brogli threatened to kill Wilson or why he blocked the door to the second-floor apartment with a chair or did not respond to officers’ commands to open it.

“I heard a bunch of noise upstairs,” one 911 caller said. “There’s a bunch of blood coming going down the steps.”

Turner said the internal investigation will take at least two or three weeks. Montgomery County Coroner Ken Betz said toxicology results should be available in that same time frame.
