At Rest

Deadly force
California Highway Patrol Officer Todd Barrett and Ventura County Sheriff's Deputy Ron Helus encountered mass shooter Ian David Long after he'd shot and killed 11 people at the Borderline Bar & Grill. Long began firing at the officers a minute after they'd entered the bar. Helus was killed by Barrett in a case of friendly crossfire. Long shot and killed himself.
This record exists so that Ron Helus, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
