Kane, an anti-government U.S. extremist, gave the officers documents that used convoluted language describing him as a sovereign citizen, not bound by the laws of any government.
As the officers looked at the documents, Kane's 16-year-old son Joseph climbed out of the van with an AK-47 and shot them multiple times.
The Kanes were eventually cornered in a Walmart parking lot and died in a hail of gunfire. Two other officers were hurt in that gun battle.
