The shooting happened at Classic BMW on SOM Center Road in Willoughby Hills.

According to officials, workers at the dealership called police around 2 p.m. because Schmidt appeared to be "under the influence" of something.
A police report showed Schmidt had multiple outstanding warrants and an extensive criminal history. Dispatch radioed the information back to the officers, including that the man had a caution alert placed on him, but a short time later shots were fired.
