On Sept. 12, 2001, Loren Janeczko, like every other man, woman and child in the United States, awoke to a world that had become threatening to the United States of America. He, like many patriotic young men, decided to put his life on hold and returned to active service in the Army.

On Oct. 12, 2001, one short month after putting his life "on hold", Sgt. Janeczko was killed in a "shoot out" with the New Jersey State Police. According to media reports, he was supposed to have "flipped out" and started shooting people, wounding two fellow soldiers on the Ft. Dix Army base, fleeing in a vehicle, and then wounding two New Jersey police officers, and taking a hostage before he was shot and killed by police.

According to the richly detailed story presented to the media in a press conference, the hostage got away when Loren's gun jammed and Loren was then killed by a member of the New Jersey Police.

The Army claimed that there had been a "mental health hearing" the morning of his death, and that "two soldiers were accompanying him to clean out his locker" prior to discharge.
