At Rest

Deadly force
The Montana Highway Patrol tried to pull over Christopher Eric Cook outside Laurel but he fled along the interstate through Stillwater County. U.S. Marshals and the Stillwater County Sheriff's Office were also involved in the chase. Cook stopped around 11 a.m. around mile marker 399. The westbound lanes of the interstate were then closed. He allegedly got out of his other, walked away, and turned toward police and brandished a gun. He reportedly ignored commands to surrender, and the two deputies shot and killed him.
This record exists so that Christopher Eric Cook, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
