OBITUARY
David Laut, who won a bronze medal for the United States in the shot put at the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles, was shot to death after confronting intruders outside his Oxnard, Calif., home, authorities said. He was 52.
Laut was gunned down early Friday when he went outside to check on a noise in the yard, Oxnard Police Sgt. Ken Klopman said. Police hadn't made any arrests or identified suspects.
Born in Ohio and raised in Southern California, Laut won two NCAA titles at UCLA and a gold medal at the 1979 Pan American Games, in addition to his Olympic medal.
Laut was a track coach for eight years, then athletic director for a year, at Hueneme High School in Oxnard. He spent much of the day before he was killed helping student-athletes arrange physicals for the upcoming school year. Observer news services
