At Rest

Deadly force
Watauga police were called to a home at about 10:30 a.m. over a reported violation of a protective order. Officers confronted a man they said was not supposed to be there. Police said James Freeman picked up a shotgun and brandished before they shot him. He retreated inside, where police found him dead from an apparent gunshot wound. Police also found the body of 49-year-old Emily Law inside the home.
This record exists so that James Freeman, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
