At Rest

Deadly force
Around 9 p.m., Parma Heights police responded to a report that John Vik had pointed a gun at another man's head. Parma police went to Vik's home and tried to contact him, but they say he instead barricaded himself inside. Around 2:30 a.m. Tuesday, Vik came out of the front door and fired at officers, who shot and killed him.
This record exists so that John A. Vik, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
