Rolfs then forced his way inside, and the two men began scuffling; the victim said he tried to "talk Rolfs out of the house" as Rolfs repeatedly said, “Just kill me.”

The man was finally able to get Rolfs outside, but Rolfs became combative again and was able to run back inside the house and locked the door.
