At Rest

Deadly force
Police were called to Griggs Avenue around 9:22 p.m. after a woman called 911 saying that Joseph Hoffman had a gun and was outside her home arguing with her husband. The man Hoffman was arguing with once had an affair with Hoffman's wife. Officer Zachary Price and Officer Thomas Graffy arrived and told Hoffman to drop his weapon, but Hoffman refused and then shot at the victim as he was running toward officers for safety. Both officers shot and killed Hoffman.
This record exists so that Joseph L. Hoffman, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
