-- A Missouri man has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against a former sheriff's deputy who fatally shot his daughter during a traffic stop last year. He told Missouri State Highway Patrol investigators that she had refused to identify herself, had a gun and threatened to shoot him. The lawsuit contends that radio traffic shows Fizer identified herself and did not record her making any threats. After the shooting, Schutte kept his gun pointed at Fizer as she remained motionless until paramedics arrived about five minutes later, according to the lawsuit. Schutte was reinstated to the force but is no longer working for the sheriff’s office, Sheriff Brad Anders said Thursday.
