For nearly 20-years the Klinefelter's have owned and operated KEEPRS in St. Cloud and now the family is moving on to its next chapter.

It was 20 years ago today when a St. Joseph police officer was shot and killed during a traffic stop on a frigid winter night.

A private, and public, event will be held tomorrow (Friday) night on the 20th anniversary of the night St. Joseph police officer Brian Klinefelter was shot and killed. Spokesman John Tragiai says it's been important for the Klinefelter family to keep his memory alive for the past 20 years.

This Friday is the 20th anniversary of the shooting and killing of St. Joseph police officer Brian Klinefelter. And, a book about that tragic event is being released this weekend to coincide with the anniversary. St. Cloud native Andy Marso wrote the book "The Klinefelter Legacy: A Story Of Faith, Family, and Forgiveness".

It was 17 years ago that another central Minnesota police officer was shot and killed in the line of duty.
