At Rest

Deadly force
Four Lynn police officers went to execute five outstanding arrest warrants for restraining order violations and threats on McClain. Police called out to McClain and he answered that he had a gun and would kill them, police said. McClain fled the building onto a porch roof, pointed the gun at an officer and ran to the back of the house. He jumped to the ground, fled on foot, and attempted to steal a car at gunpoint. Officers approached the other, McClain pointed his gun at officers and three officers shot and killed him.
This record exists so that Randolph McClain, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
