At Rest

Deadly force
About 11:45 a.m., deputies responded to a mobile home park over a call about a man with a gun and encountered Kevin Rinehart, 57, a terminal cancer patient who suffered from depression. Rinehart barricaded himself in his trailer with several rifles and a handgun and claimed the entrance was booby-trapped with explosives. Police set up a perimeter and Rinehart exited the trailer several times, the final time armed with a handgun. When he pointed to handgun toward several officers, two officer shot and killed him. The officers have been cleared of wrongdoing.
This record exists so that Kevin Rinehart, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
