At Rest

Deadly force
Two Maryland state troopers were off-duty and working security at a 24-hr. restaurant. One trooper shot and killed a man who may have been in a gunbattle moments before who allegedly pointed a gun at him. Michael T. Ward Jr. and Jaquan M. Griffin were killed. The trooper allegedly killed Ward. Moments later, Griffin staggered into the restaurant from the parking lot and collapsed on the floor and two friends took him in their car to Peninsula Regional Medical Center.
This record exists so that Michael T. Ward Jr., and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
