To assist you more effectively, could you please share any additional details you may have? Information such as:
City, town, or county in Minnesota where Theodore lived or where services may be held,
The name of a funeral home, if known,
Or even the local newspaper or online platform where the announcement might appear,
would be incredibly helpful. With that context, I can target my search directly to those outlets and provide more accurate support.
What I found included:
An obituary for Mandy Lynn (Behnken) Muench, who passed away in 2010—this is unrelated to your mention. ranfranzandvinefh.com
Several obituaries for individuals with the last name Wittenberg, such as David Wittenberg (2024), Lisa Wittenberg (2023), and others, but none matching the name Mandy or suggesting a recent passing in Minnesota. Macken Funeral Homejohnsonhagglund.comgrayfuneral.compearsonfuneralhome.com
It’s possible the passing hasn’t been published on widely indexed obituary platforms yet, or it may be limited to local outlets, funeral home sites, or community announcements not easily searchable via standard queries.
If you could provide any additional information such as:
A specific city or county in Minnesota where Mandy resided or where the service might take place,
The name of the funeral home handling arrangements,
Or the local newspaper or platform where an announcement might be published,
…I’d be happy to help target those sources directly. Please let me know how you’d like to proceed—I’m here to assist you during this difficult time.

The incident began shortly before 11 p.m. on Sunday, August 17, 2025, following a domestic dispute at a nearby residence. The suspect’s vehicle was swiftly located at the hospital’s emergency entrance. Authorities responded quickly.KOCOKETV
Upon arrival, the suspect opened fire—first targeting law enforcement and a police vehicle outside—and then stormed inside the hospital, firing multiple shots.KOCOKETV
Inside the hospital, a public safety officer, identified as 72-year-old J.W. Bode, was fatally shot. Officer Bode died shielding patients and staff during the violent escalation.KOCO+1
Enid police officers entered the hospital and fatally shot the suspect, effectively neutralizing the threat. Authorities confirmed that no other individuals—patients, medical staff, or officers—were harmed in the exchange.KOCO+1KETV
An article from ObitsFarewell, though not a primary source, closely mirrors the details outlined above:
The hospital security guard at the center of the incident is named James Bode, who bravely responded to the threat and was killed during the confrontation.
The piece describes the suspect launching an armed attack inside the hospital after a domestic dispute and the rapid police response that prevented further casualties.obitsfarewell.com
Note: The name J.W. Bode reported by KOCO likely refers to the same individual identified by ObitsFarewell as James Bode—J.W. could stand for James W. Bode. Still, official coverage has only released “J.W. Bode”.
